Organized by

Louise Eccles

We support over 500 businesses across Greater Manchester, Kirklees, Calderdale & Lancashire all working together to generate business opportunities for each other.

We strongly believe that we don't build groups, we are actually creating a new business community. A community full of relationships, where members help each other and create business together. We find that we don’t just make an impact on our own businesses, the effect spreads much wider.
