About this event
Solent Business Connections meets every fortnight on a Wednesday for a delicious breakfast at Harper's Steakhouse in Lower Swanwick.
It's an enjoyable meeting - business networking should be something you want to do! We meet to support each other and share connections, referrals, and knowledge to help grow our businesses.
Members are all businesses located in and around the Southampton and Portsmouth areas.
The formal meetings are once every fortnight and this is when you will get the chance to do an elevator pitch and find out about all the businesses in the room. On the other Wednesdays, we meet informally for breakfast to just chat. We find this helps us to get to know each other better and build strong working relationships.
There is one member per business category, which means you won't be competing with other members offering the same service as you. If you are down to visit and your category is unavailable - a member of the team will be in touch to advise.
We welcome visitors to attend the formal meetings to get a feel for the group and decide whether Solent Business Connections is the right choice for your business.
The agenda below is what you can expect at the fortnightly formal meetings.
Free parking is available at the venue.
It's free to attend - just book your Visitor Pass on Eventbrite. The only cost is your tasty breakfast.
Frequently asked questions
It's free - you just need to pay for your breakfast off the menu and any drinks you order. At the formal meetings, tea and coffee is provided.
Parking is free and there's plenty of it located at the venue. You just need to enter your vehicle registration on the screens located in the bar area.
