A hotel has launched a town’s first business lunch club.

The Broadway Hotel and Carvery in Letchworth is trying to attract employers and employees to the hotel to foster closer business links in the town.

Basia Krol, managing partner at the hotel said she hopes the club will encourage dialogue between companies and said it is also a way of thanking local businesses for their support.

The club will operate between midday to 2.30pm Monday to Friday. Membership is free.
