The 2020 Club networking & peer support group

Due to the success of our first meet up of The 2020 Club, we’ve decided to do it all again!

Specifically aimed at businesses which have launched since January 2020*, we would love you to join us for our next get together.

Running a new business can be scary, overwhelming and a bit isolating can’t it? Why not come along to the event and chat with fellow new business owners, share what you do and any problems you’re currently facing and above all, have your lunch with others instead of sitting at a desk on your own!

*By the way, we’re flexible about the January 2020 start date, so no problem if your business is a month or two older!

About The 2020 Club

We all know about our own skills, right? Whether that’s marketing, dress-making or building and renovating. These skills are the reason why we set up our businesses. But many of us have never ‘ran a company’ before, and that’s a whole new ball game. This can bring its own challenges such as pricing, health and safety, accounting, and even imposter syndrome – we’ve all been there.

With many new business owners working from home or on their own, we know it can feel quite isolating. The 2020 Club will bring us all together so we can chat, share ideas and give advice to the burning questions that all new start-ups face.

Any sector is welcome to come along, whether you have an online business, are a freelancer or have just opened your own high street store, we’d love to see you there.

Who’s behind the group?

We’re Danielle from Inside Out Communications Consulting and Nicola from Riverside Marketing Solutions. We both started our businesses in March 2020 and have faced all of the above challenges, and more - we know what you’re going through.

We decided to join forces and set up the group to provide advice and support to fellow start-ups. Our aim is to bring together a supportive bunch of people, where there will never be a silly question, and we can catch-up on all that ‘water cooler chat’ we’ve missed!
