About this Event
Start your Thursday with a room full of Essex business owners who want to help you grow.
Essex Business Forum (EBF) is an independent networking group of around 30 local businesses, from trades and property to finance, creative and professional services. We’ve met every week since 2011, and we only accept one member per trade or profession. That means no competing for the same work, just people actively referring business to each other.
What happens at a meeting
- An education slot to help you sharpen your business
- A 60-second presentation from every member, and from you as a visitor
- One detailed 10-minute spotlight from a member
- Sharing of referrals and “thank you for the business” updates
The format is the same every week, so you’ll know what to expect from the moment you arrive.
Why visit?
Our members pass around £65,000 of business to each other every month, and more than £6.75 million over the last 10 years. Beyond the referrals, you’ll find a supportive community, a busy social calendar and genuine friendships.
Your first visit is free
