Workshops
As a member of The Business Community, you get access to as many of the following workshops as you like. They are genuinely commercial workshops that if you weren't a member, you would be paying for. Do take advantage of these offers as all small business owners should be continually developing and learning new skills.
The people offering these workshops are not being paid to do so - it is part of their contribution to the community - it would be great if you could support them.
Each online event is limited to 10 people, and will be 1-2 hours, held on the third Tuesday of the month at 2pm.
NB New workshops coming in 2024.
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.
Martin Beckley - The Creative Astronaut
I'm a long-term member of a national networking group. I've now also joined BusComm and I'm finding it a breath of fresh air. A very welcoming and supportive atmosphere where the focus seems to be about helping each other instead of sell, sell, sell. BusComm meetings don't take themselves too seriously but are still professional and informative.
Paul Drake - WhiteStar
This networking group is brilliant and has really helped me and my business. I would recommend this group to anyone and it is great value for money. The group is very friendly and helpful so I'd highly recommend going.
Nishi Patel - N-Accounting
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.
