CONNECT. CONVERSE. COLLABORATE.

Over 28 years' experience in building meaningful connections to help your business flourish

Business networking in Manchester – for owners and directors from across the Manchester business community and beyond

Whether providing face-to-face business networking events in Manchester, as we have been since 1993, or hosting our more recent and equally successful online events, our purpose has remained the same. We aim to offer business owners and directors an effective and focused environment to do business, as well as the opportunity to remain up-to-date with the latest business thinking through our programme of monthly seminars.

“Great friendly atmosphere with a servant leadership culture. I attended my first meeting in November and already had four follow up sessions in the following week. Well worth joining.” Hein Pretorius – Onpro Consulting UK

Currently, the opportunity to make new contacts, to collaborate and share knowledge, and the ability to build a support network, is perhaps even more important now than ever before. That is why we continue acting as ‘connectors’ for our members, as well as provide new ways to make their expertise more visible.

“I’ve been a member of the Business Network for over 4 years now. I know of no other network that works so hard for its members.” Roger Porthouse – Latent Capability Ltd
