Peaks & People – Relaxed Networking in the Heart of the Peaks

This meet-up is for anyone running or growing a business — freelancers, sole traders, small business owners, creatives, and founders from the local area (and beyond). All sectors welcome.

Not at all. There's no formal agenda or pressure to ‘perform’. If you’d like to share what you do, there’ll be space — but equally, you’re welcome to just join the conversation.

Yes! Come for the full two hours or just pop in for a quick coffee and hello. It’s flexible and low-key.

Just yourself. Business cards if you like, but there's no need for anything formal. A willingness to chat is more than enough.

You’re welcome to buy your own coffee, tea or breakfast at the bar — the Yorkshire Bridge Inn has a lovely menu. There's no charge to attend.

Of course — just ask them to sign up too so we can keep an eye on numbers.

I’m Abi Phillips, a business consultant based in the High Peak. I know how important it is to feel part of something — especially when running a business can feel isolating. Peaks & People is my way of creating a space that’s supportive, down-to-earth, and genuinely helpful.
