Are you tired of soulless networking? The kind where you swap business cards and never hear from anyone again?
Houlton Professionals is not that.
This is a relationship-led networking hub for Houlton and Rugby-based professionals, and those from surrounding locations, who want more than small talk. Whether you’re a coach, creative, consultant, business owner, or expert in your field, you’ll find a room full of people who are ready to connect, collaborate, and refer.
We meet on the third Thursday, bi-monthly, in the evening at 6.20pm to 8.30pm at the Exchange Co-Working Space, Houlton, Rugby.
Every one of our events since February 2024 (held at the amazing Exchange in Houlton, Rugby) have successfully sold out, receiving amazing feedback about the content, ease of comfortable and energising networking, quality speakers, inspiring and just an amazing vibe. We have not only created a supportive business community, we have also established amazing friendships, too!
These events attract a great mix of people from a variety of businesses from Houlton, Rugby, and surrounding locations. And please don't worry, there's no standing up to give a presentation for 1-minute, we have a great ice-breaker to help you connect, and it's informal, yet so effective.
What to Expect:
- A relaxed, welcoming atmosphere (ditch the awkward intros)
- Genuine conversations that build trust—not just transactions
- A room full of potential collaborators, partners, and clients
- Occasional expert spotlights, guided networking prompts, and coffee-fuelled connection
No pitching. No pressure. Just high-quality people, meaningful conversations, and new opportunities.
