This can be done as follows:

m3 = Transpose@Join[Transpose@m1, Transpose@m2]

Here I've used m1, m2 and m3 as the name of the matrices to join to avoid usage of capital letters and conflict with built in symbols. Specifically, E is already defined by Mathematica and cannot be used as a matrix name.

An alternative approach to joining matrices in this fashion would be to use the routines in either LinearAlgebra`MatrixManipulation` or Statistics`DataManipulation`
