Managed 121 Meetings
After attending your first business networking meeting, you are able to request (or deny*) 121 meetings with any attendee at a future meeting - the bespoke CRM system will automatically pair you up with any of your requests wherever you both happen to be at the same meeting!
*You may want to deny a 121 if you know someone really well or have had 121s with them outside of the meetings or for any other reason - it is confidential.
Having just started networking I realise what great opportunities there are in the local area and get to meet some very interesting people and businesses.
I'm very positive that given time the fruits of my effort will pay off, so keeping my fingers crossed.
In any case, The Business Community is a very welcoming environment and not the stuffy corporate atmosphere I used to in my past life.

The Business Community is what is says on the tin - a real community of businesses from a whole range of sectors. The support the group offer each other is second to none and the networking groups are always fun and a joy to attend.

The Business Community has been extremely helpful to my business. The meetings are well run - they have a well-defined structure, but have a good mix of formality and informality. I enjoy meeting other members, have made some good connections, got great business advice from Paul and the wider group and, last but not least, gained work whose value is several times the cost of membership.
