South Africa Chamber restarts breakfast series at Mills & Reeve

The South African Chamber of Commerce (SACC) UK has announced the highly anticipated relaunch of its monthly East of England breakfast series, starting on 12 September 2024.

With sponsorship from Mills & Reeve, the new series resumes a tradition that was put on pause during the pandemic.

Tania Verdonk, SACC UK East of England chapter leader, said: “I’m excited that the time has finally come to relaunch our SACC UK Chapter.

“As a South African who has lived and run a business in Cambridge for the last 23 years, while maintaining strong family and business links with South Africa, this is a wonderful opportunity to serve both my countries.

“This event not only allows us to reconnect with our networks but also to strengthen the ties between the UK and South Africa, fostering collaboration and new business opportunities.”

Richard Plaistowe of Mills & Reeve LLP, a dual-qualified South African attorney and English solicitors, said: “As someone with deep roots in both South Africa and the UK, I’m particularly excited to support the relaunch of the SACC UK’s Cambridge breakfast series. At Mills & Reeve, we understand the importance of fostering strong international connections, especially in today’s globalised business environment.

“This event offers a unique opportunity for professionals to engage, share knowledge, and explore new avenues for collaboration. We're proud to be a part of this initiative, helping to establish and develop connections between the UK and South Africa, and supporting businesses in each country."

The event at Botanic House starts at 7.30am. More information here.
