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>1 year ago I made the decision that I needed to start Business Networking. Scary stuff! Or so I thought. Walking into the meeting room for my first meeting was quite frankly, terrifying. <strong>I really shouldn’t have worried</strong>. I was immediately taken under the wing of one of the more experienced networkers. I can count a <strong>number of BusComm members as clients</strong>, and <strong>even more who have passed work my way</strong>. It’s important to note that there is absolutely <strong>no pressure to refer</strong> – so you truly know it’s on merit. It’s a<strong> fabulous community</strong>.</p>

<p>I have done lots of networking over the years, and I love The Business Community. It hits <strong>just the right mix of being structured and organised</strong> while still being a <strong>friendly and relaxed</strong> place to be. The business world would be a lonelier place without it.</p>
