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'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>

<p>I really enjoy the meetings, the<strong> format works well</strong> and the <strong>atmosphere is friendly</strong>, most importantly it is <strong>not too scary if you are new to networking</strong>. I have made some <strong>valuable business contacts</strong> over the last year that I would not have found had it not been for The Business Community.</p>
