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.
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 wealth of business skills, knowledge and experience 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.
The format of the meetings is fun, but has meaning ... and you can always be assured a friendly welcome (as I got recently when attending the Daventry session for the first time). I have made loads of good business contacts 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!

I have done lots of networking over the years, and I love The Business Community. It hits just the right mix of being structured and organised while still being a friendly and relaxed place to be. The business world would be a lonelier place without it.

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.
Jamie Cochrane - PBC Business Recovery
BusComm is a great group of friendly business people offering a chance to expand your networking across different counties. You also benefit from a wealth of business knowledge which you can call upon to help with any issues you may need to overcome. Paul promotes your company as well as you as an individual within the group and externally. It's all automated and a no pressure approach.
