Mass Email
So a mass email facility might not seem that special - however it is a great way of communicating with all current members without having to manage your own distribution lists or copying and pasting from spreadsheets!
Only members can send to other members - you have to use your registered email on your profile as all other emails are automatically blocked. So no spam.
There are no rules because you are grown-up and know how to appropriately send emails!
If you don't like an email for whatever reason, just hit the delete key! You can unsubscribe if you wish but you are likely to be missing out.
Friendly atmosphere - people don't take themselves too seriously, there are laughs and jokes mixed in with a genuine sense that everybody is looking out for each other. Good structure to the meetings - they are not too formal or overly casual and a great place to pick up tips (not always business-related). Free courses for members - I have been on several courses put on by other members and always come away having learnt something useful.

I really enjoy the meetings, the format works well and the atmosphere is friendly, most importantly it is not too scary if you are new to networking. I have made some valuable business contacts over the last year that I would not have found had it not been for The Business Community.
Andi Herrington - Wallis Payroll
BusComm is a business networking group like no other. It's fun, friendly and focused. The support and advice available through the group is second to none.
I've gained business as a direct result of being a member. It has enabled me to find suppliers and contacts who have been able to help my clients.
I would highly recommend the group to anyone.
Eleanor Lester - Shrewd PR
This is a small enough networking group to feel like a community but big enough to have a good variety of different business types and sizes. Love the meeting structure (with a difference) which gives the chance to discuss as a whole group and share ideas rather than just speaking to the people sitting next to you. Can't recommend it more highly to anyone running their own business.
