Business Dinner
Business Dinner Club?
The Dinner Club is designed to enable owners of small businesses and those starting up to support each other.
How does it work?
We're planning ten meetings a year; once a month excluding December and August. Anyone running or thinking of starting a business is welcome as are those people offering business support and other services. We don't restrict the number of people from any particular sector; there are plenty of other groups which do that. We believe that there are advantages to building relationships with our competitors including the opportunity to tender for larger scale work which may be beyond the scope of one small business working in isolation. It can also be useful to know someone with complementary skills who could help you when you are under pressure or maybe don't have all of the skills required to deliver a particular project.
We actively encourage attendees to work out how they can work together, either on a project, on joint marketing or on buying supplies together to benefit from greater discounts. We hope that as the club builds we'll be able to negotiate some worthwhile savings on relevant supplies and services.
We want to encourage the spirit of sharing. We believe that good relationships grow out of generosity so we hope that people will be prepared to share hints and tips with each other. Whilst this may not lead to immediate payback such generosity is usually returned with referrals and future business.
What will happen at the Dinner Club?
Each evening starts at 6.30pm with some informal networking over a welcome drink. We then take our pre-allocated places at our tables for the first course. At the end of the first course we'll do a little organised table shuffling so that you get to meet as many people as possible. The booking form allows you to tell us what kind of business owner you would like to meet. We shuffle again for coffee and dessert.
Our speaker will share knowledge, inspiration and expertise to help our business development. See the programme for details of future speakers and to book. Booking is essential so that we can arrange for you to meet the people you would like to meet and to allow the venue to cater for our needs. Vegetarian options will be available but let us know if you have any other dietary needs.
