It can be lonely being a business owner – the responsibility of decision-making, not having someone to challenge you or confirm the decisions you’re making are the right ones.

Networking and building relationships is key to business development. Our events programme gives you plenty of opportunities for business networking and connecting with other local organisations. With a packed schedule of business breakfasts, lunches, workshops, informal drinks, signature events as well as our Community Business Awards running throughout the year, you can choose your way to network.
