More than 22 entrepreneurs shared their tricks of the trade with other business owners at a networking event.

People in business and representatives from the University of Hertfordshire attended a Breakthrough in Branch panel and networking event at Santander’s St Albans branch, in St Peter’s Street, last week.

The event provides a platform to share knowledge and experiences between businesses on subjects relevant to them.

Panellists Zee Razaq, chartered accountant, Certax Accounting, and Martin Purvis, business coach from Springwell Business Coaching - an ActionCoach Partner - were invited to the St Albans branch to share best practices on the topics accounting and business growth.

Chris Tomlin, Business Relationship Manager, Santander UK, said: “We support our SMEs, customers and prospects alike and our Breakthrough in Branch events provide that local, specialised industry knowledge to help businesses prosper and make connections to support them and their business aspirations.”
