Helping local businesses to thrive

Since 2018, our annual Meet the Buyer event has acted as a catalyst for local economic growth. These events give East London small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) an opportunity to connect with buyers in London’s Royal Docks and beyond.

Supporting local businesses through our supply chain equated to more than £9 million spent with East London businesses, including £6.5 million spent in Newham with 21 businesses.
