Additionally, between 1000hrs and 1200hrs there will be a Skype workshop. Skype is a software application that allows users to make voice and video calls and chats over the internet. Calls to other users within the Skype service are free, while calls to both traditional landline telephones and mobile telephones can be made for a fee at a much reduced rate.


Skype is a cost effective and easy to use way of keeping in touch with friends and family from all corners of the globe. The free workshop is aimed at beginners and improvers and will be delivered in our fully equipped training room. To reserve your space call Chloe direct on 01375 485490.

Free Business Event

Business Link, Low Carbon Business Programme, and Thurrock Council have come together to bring you a business breakfast and two follow up workshops on the subject of procurement. They have been designed specifically, although not exclusively, for Thurrock businesses.
The breakfast is a free networking opportunity where you can find out about the procurement procedures and initiatives of Thurrock Council, how you can build your green credentials and what CSR means for small business, and how to win Olympic contracts.
The two follow up workshops are also free and will go into more detail about Public Procurement and Tendering, and Resource Efficiency and Green Procurement. With both workshops we will provide you with enough information and advice so you can apply it straight into your business.
