Start Up & Sole Trader Social

Come together in our Business Lounge to get to know each other, start-up leaders and sole traders, over coffee and nibbles.

Connect with other, like-minded business people from around the region with the chance for you to talk about your business and learn about others.

Meet other members and find out how we can support you, as you take your business from strength to strength. Each month, we'll welcome a speaker who will discuss the business support they offer.

What's the format?

It’s an easy-going event. Our team will be there to introduce you to other businesses and help you connect. There is no agenda, no pressure, just good conversations.

Why should I attend?

Expand your network, meet new contacts, and share ideas with passionate North East business professionals. Chamber events focus on building long-term connections and growing your business network - not just selling.

Who should attend?

Start-up leaders, self-employed or sole-trader business owners looking to find a community that understands them and is there to succeed and thrive together. This event is open to both members and non-members.

Dress code: We don’t stipulate a dress code at our events, but we’d recommend you dress like you’re going to meet new clients. The most important this is that you're comfortable.

Behaviour & Conduct: Our events create an inclusive space for individuals and organisations to meet where we expect all our attendees to behave with courtesy and respect, to both each other and Chamber colleagues.
