A BUSINESS networking event is being organised by the Army Aviation Centre and Test Valley Partnership to help engagement and working relationships with local businesses, organisations and communities.

The event will be held on Thursday, 2 November at Test Valley Borough Council’s (TVBC) office in Weyhill Road, Andover, from 6pm to 8.30pm.

The event is designed to allow businesses the chance to discuss and explore opportunities for closer working relations with the Army Aviation Centre at Middle Wallop and other nearby military units.

Representatives from local businesses and employers are being invited to attend to learn more.

TVBC economic development and tourism portfolio holder, Councillor David Drew, said: “This event follows previous successful business networking events we have hosted and is set to be a really useful opportunity for local businesses in Test Valley to get to know more about the work and opportunities available with the Army Aviation Centre.

"The event is open to all local employers interested in finding out more, so if you haven’t already received an invitation, you’re still more than welcome to attend. We look forward to confirming your booking and seeing you on the day."
