👨‍💼Business Networking Event at Leighton Buzzard Golf Club


Time: 18:00

👩‍💼Our Business Networking Event is a great way to introduce your business into the vast local business network, share business knowledge or seek out advice.

ℹ️ ABOUT:
Created for and supported by local businesses, the event regularly brings together over 100 representatives from businesses both small and large from within the town and surrounding areas. Many local businesses find likeminded entrepreneurs and end up working collaboratively with them. Some find the service providers they need to support their own business, for example financial, technical or marketing services that help boost business infrastructure.

Working for yourself can be a lonely thing so tapping into the network of businesses can be a life saver on all levels. We love to welcome new or existing businesses and we always like to see our frequent attendees as they obviously know that networking is essential for doing business! The networking event is a great opportunity to enhance your network and build business contacts.

We host business support agencies and invite other local business networks to attend so that you can choose to join a more regular support group if you wish to. Everyone is welcome, it’s free to attend, and the event space is usually buzzing with new ideas and lively conversations.
