About this Event
You don't have to be a natural networker to benefit from networking. You just need to be willing to meet people, have conversations and see where they lead.
Looking for a friendly networking group in Bristol?Come along to the Bristol Breakfast Networking club and meet a room full of local business people who are interested in getting to know you, your business and how they might be able to help.
Established in 1999, we're an independent, not-for-profit networking group that meets every other Thursday morning at Aqua Welsh Back, Bristol BS1 4RR.We're friendly, informal and — yes — we have a laugh along the way!
What might you get from coming along?Your first visit isn't about making a sales pitch or handing out as many business cards as possible.It's about people and conversations. You could:
- Meet potential clients, collaborators and useful contacts.
- Tell people about your business and what you do.
- Ask for a specific introduction or connection.
- Get ideas, advice or a fresh perspective on something you're working through.
- Raise your profile with other local business owners.
- Discover opportunities you might not have found on your own.
- Start building relationships that can develop over time.
What happens at the meeting?We start at 6.45am with informal networking, tea and coffee — giving you plenty of time to meet people before breakfast.Breakfast is served at approximately 7.00am.
Everyone gets around 60 seconds to introduce themselves. You can tell us about your business, what you've been doing since the last meeting, or — importantly — what you need help with.There's no need to give a slick sales pitch. Just tell us what's useful for people to know.
We also have an 8-minute presentation from one of our members, followed by a short Q&A, and the networking doesn't stop when the meeting finishes. Members keep in touch between meetings, because that's often when conversations turn into introductions, opportunities and business.
Not sure if networking is for you?
That's exactly why we invite you to come and try us.
Visitors are welcome to attend twice before deciding whether they'd like to apply to join us, provided there isn't already a member representing the same type of business. So don't worry about making a decision before you've met us.
Come for breakfast. Meet some people. Have a conversation. See what you think.
