Biz East Lothian is the title of a major networking initiative in East Lothian in November.

Over 100 businesses are expected to attend the final Biz East Lothian coffee morning of the year on Friday, November 17.

It’s a bigger event than usual to mark National Business Week and a number of East Lothian Council departments will be there.

A spokesman said this was an ideal opportunity to meet the council and to hear from three local businesses about their stories and plans for the future.

Eskmills Venue in Musselburgh will host the event from 8.30am and it is informal.

The spokesman added: “Everyone will be warmly welcomed so please come along, bring guests and business cards/flyers.”

Booking is essential via Eventbrite on https://bizeastlothiannovember17.eventbrite.com
