Cotswold Networking

About Cotswold Networking

Cotswold Networking is a membership business networking organisation that started in Malmesbury in 2022, as we emerged from the lockdowns, to help local businesses reconnect. It has grown steadily ever since, and today we run nine monthly groups across Malmesbury, Cirencester, Cheltenham, Bath, Bristol, Witney, Corsham, Worcester and Royal Wootton Bassett. Our groups meet in high quality local venues in Cirencester, Malmesbury, Cheltenham, Bristol, Bath, Worcester, Corsham, Royal Wootton Bassett and Witney, mostly in the evenings from 7pm, with Witney meeting in the morning. Every meeting follows a relaxed, friendly format: open networking to start, a Member Spotlight where one of our members talks about their business, then our signature around the table networking, where everyone moves between tables and gets a proper chance to talk about what they do. We finish with news, shoutouts and asks, so people can share what they need and help each other out. The connections don’t stop when the meeting ends. Our online community on Circle keeps members in touch between events, wherever they are. Members can post a question on the Ask the Community board and get answers from business owners across all nine groups, share and find exclusive member discounts, and swap practical advice in our resources space. It means you have the support of the whole network at your fingertips, not just the people you see once a month. Membership also gives you your own page in our members directory so people looking for what you do can find you, free PR in our online magazine, and the flexibility to visit other groups or switch groups at any time. What makes us different is the people. Over the years our groups have led to lasting friendships, collaborations, referrals and new work, and a real sense of support between local business owners. If you have never been to a networking event before, you will find it a very easy room to walk into. Come along as a visitor and see what we’re about. Book your place at www.cotswoldnetworking.co.uk
