Inside you’ll find:
• Velvet’s 25-year milestone, a family-run fashion store celebrating style,
resilience and community.
• Sussex Surveyors LLP’ 23-year success story and new Hove office launch.
• Thomson Snell & Passmore advising Adelphi Group on their latest acquisition.
• Brighton & Hove Living Wage Campaign marking its 1,000th employer with IKEA Brighton.
• Features on devolution, finance planning ahead of the November Budget, cyber insurance, AI, leadership and more.
• Event highlights from The Inner Circle launch at Falmer Court, the Big Business Breakfast Club - BBBC, and the unforgettable Alchemist Ball 2025.

As we approach the end of the year, this issue is a reminder that progress isn’t just about technology, it’s about connection: between people, businesses, and the ideas that move us all forward.
