Thoughtful event planning that tailors to the needs of every Member

If you are visiting this site for the first time, please take a few moments to read some of the kind comments provided by members. They offer an insight into why we have such loyal members throughout our Business Network groups.

A Host’s role goes beyond simply organising professional and efficient events. To be successful they need to act as ‘business connectors’ for their members, actively brokering links when the opportunities arise. To do this they need to research a member’s business and understand its position in the marketplace. Only then can the table plans of our live events, or the breakout room configurations of our online events, work most effectively.

So when you find yourself attending one of our business networking events you will appreciate that the group of business owners and directors you meet at your table, or in your breakout room, is not down to fate, but is the result of careful and considered planning on the part of your Business Network Host.

The Benefits of Membership

The Business Network Host

As we mention above, a key benefit of membership is your dedicated Business Network Host, playing a connecting role by working to get you in front of the business owners and directors you want to meet, not only at events but also during the working periods in between.

Seminars

The seminars are an important part of our events. Drawn from the membership, the presenters offer topical and relevant seminars, allowing you to share expert insight to ensure your knowledge remains current. At our live events, they also provide a further opportunity to network with a group of like-minded business professionals.

Making your expertise more visible

Membership offers opportunities to shed a spotlight on your expertise. You can choose to present a seminar yourself and you can also submit articles for publication on the news pages. Dependent on the level of membership you select, this can be done through your regional website, or the national and regional website together.

National Members Database

Membership allows a personalised entry on the National Members Database, making you and your business visible to the national membership.

Member Offers

Membership also allows you to promote offers. Dependent on the level of membership you select, this can be done through your regional website, or the national and a regional website together. These offers can be taken up by both members and non-members.

What our
members and
visitors say...

I happily renewed my membership with The Business Network South Manchester yesterday hosted by Simon & Win. Why? It's structured, director level networking which works for me and the kind of businesses I want to be introduced to. Plus there's an amazing extended network I have access to... With a couple of contacts i have met in the group we're working on developing what will be the biggest production project of my career so far. Renewing was a bit of a no-brainer....

The South Manchester Business Network is the best I have ever attended! There are online networking events, seminars, updates, 121's, networking and much more. They are always an enjoyable event. They are professionally run, in a quality hotel with quality people. After my first visit I joined the group as I felt I found my Networking home with likeminded people. Simon and Win have supported me, since I have joined the group and look forward to being a member for many years.

3 years! Its seems like only yesterday that I was fighting my way through the Cheshire lanes to the launch of a brand new networking group. These days, new networking groups seem to spring up like weeds, but this one WAS different. It ticked all my boxes and I decided to join at that launch meeting. And I'm still there after three years, because it did deliver on those initial expectations, and continues to do so!! Why do I continue to like The Business Network? Three Simple Reasons: 1 - Its a pleasurable experience. Great lunches in nice locations each month. A structured meeting format, but not rigid. Great educational seminars. Meeting decision makers not salesmen as fellow members. Importantly , you feel you are among friends, all willing to help you. 2 - It helps my business. As a digital marketing consultancy, the majority of our clients come through referrals. I have been introduced to a number of new clients by fellow members and met great companies to partner with through the network. 3 - You don't know when you will meet your next client! As host, Karen works hard to attract new people to every meeting. As well as growing the membership, these visitors help to keep the meeetings fresh and dynamic. And hopefully some may need our Internet Marketing services! Happy 3rd Anniversary!
