The Business Network creates opportunities for people wanting to have a positive effect on their future prospects. By meeting, learning from and interacting with other entrepreneurs and those who could help and support the development of the programme, people will get a chance to gain knowledge and skills and develop some very useful business contacts.

Events are organised locally to reduce travelling time for busy people and to encourage better communication between those who may benefit from improving their local network of contacts.

Networking is very important to a new business. Making new contacts, giving access to information and markets is an effective way of helping to achieve the objectives of the enterprise. The Business Network will allow people to improve their range of contacts and their communication skills.

Business Network events will include:

• Visits
• Seminars
• Conferences
• Training workshops
• Shows and exhibitions

The key to success from these events is active participation. All those attending will be encouraged to benefit from getting involved in the discussions and to share their experiences with others present.

Future Business Network events are listed on the events page.
