Business people of the future got together with a town’s current traders at a successful inaugural breakfast meeting this week.

The Business Breakfast was shared by A Level Business Studies students from Tenby’s Ysgol Greenhill School and members of the newly-re-established Tenby Chamber of Trade.

The event at the Qube restaurant in Tenby on Monday morning, January 22, was co-ordinated by Tenby South county councillor, Sam Skyrme-Blackhall, with Tenby Town Council providing £250 towards the cost of the event.

As well as enjoying the catering provided by the Qube, students were able to meet and learn from a range of local businesses.
