The 'Responsible' Breakfast
There’s more to think about when booking a holiday than the destination and the cost – what about the price to the planet? Our May breakfast speaker is Tim Williamson, Customer Director at Responsible Travel. He describes his job as “enjoying proving that you can make money selling responsible holidays and trying to restore our planet”. The company offers trips that support local communities and preserve nature.
Tim has worked in travel for nearly a quarter of a century, with major roles for Monarch Airlines and TUI UK. In 2011, he and his family worked as volunteers in a space for orphaned and vulnerable children in Eswatini (Swaziland).
Tim will discuss what he has learned during his career – often through failure. He’ll be passing on top tips that we can apply to all of our business; following your heart, volunteering and the value in taking control of your destiny.
So don’t delay in securing your ticket – you know it’s the responsible thing to do!

The Chamber’s monthly Breakfast at Bill’s is very popular, so you’ll need to book early.

There is a wide range of people who attend from all sectors and all sizes. From sole traders and start-ups to some of the biggest businesses in the city.
Each month there is a guest speaker, who'll talk about their own experiences of running a business and their own personal journey.

- Make new connections through informal networking.
- Hear from a brilliant speaker, who'll talk us through their personal and business story, the highs, and the lows.
