Who attends

There is a diverse range of businesses that attend, pretty much covering all sectors.

The target audience for the #BusComm business networking meetings are small business owners who are looking to grow their business; however all businesses are welcome to attend.

Typically there will be a core of regular members who come along and usually a couple of visitors.

If there are particular businesses that you would be interested in meeting, then get in touch and let the group leader know who you are ideally looking to be connected with.

Should you become a member, then you will get attendee lists sent to you the day before the meeting.

You can also book future 1-2-1s with other attendees at your first meeting.

Here is a quick video with the breakdown of the community from a recent member survey:

So how can you make the most out of these networking groups?

<p>I really enjoy the BusComm meetings, the format works quite well and the <strong>atmosphere is very friendly</strong>, most importantly it is <strong>not too scary</strong> even when you are new to networking. I have got enough support from BusComm members, number of clients and <strong>valuable business contacts</strong>.</p>

<p>Having just started networking I realise what great opportunities there are in the local area and get to meet some <strong>very interesting people</strong> and businesses.</p>
<p>I'm very positive that given time the fruits of my effort will pay off, so keeping my fingers crossed.</p>
<p>In any case, The Business Community is a <strong>very welcoming environment</strong> and not the stuffy corporate atmosphere I used to in my past life.</p>
