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>A <strong>great local networking community</strong>. <strong>Excellent membership benefits</strong> alongside the traditional networking meetings with access to all members, workshops and just <strong>great support</strong>. Highly recommended.</p>

<p>Since starting my business 18 months or so ago, I have gone from a networking novice to being a solid contributor through meeting and getting to know the <strong>wealth of business skills</strong>, <strong>knowledge</strong> and <strong>experience</strong> of Paul Green and the members of The Business Community. I mainly attend the Wellingborough session, but have plans to spread myself further afield in Northamptonshire during the rest of this year as membership allows this, unlike others.</p>
<p>The <strong>format of the meetings is fun</strong>, <strong>but has meaning</strong> ... and you can always be assured <strong>a friendly welcome</strong> (as I got recently when attending the Daventry session for the first time). I have made <strong>loads of good business contacts</strong> that I would have only made through The Business Community ... if you are starting or have recently started a business, book yourself on a session and find out for yourself ... breakfast is good too!</p>

<p>I've been part of this business networking group since first stepping out into business on my own in 2016. It has been <strong>a fabulous group</strong> to be part of not just because of the referrals I've had but also because of the <strong>fantastic support</strong> you get from the other members. <strong>Highly recommended</strong>.</p>
