The Start-Up Network by the Brightfield Business Hub:

Is a monthly informal network created to give freelancers, home workers and people running their own business the opportunity to connect in a neutral environment, to meet new, like-minded people, to brainstorm, problem solve and support each other in a friendly, semi-social environment.

This monthly network, which will take place on the last Wednesday of each month starting on Wednesday 25th September is designed to give you the chance to work, chat and share ideas, to pass on tips, ask for help and find others to collaborate with.

We would like to offer you even more support so, we will arrange for a business adviser to be part of The Start-Up Network each month so you can ask for any business help/advice you may need to help start or grow your business.

So, if you are a small business, start-up or thinking of starting your own business come and join us at The Start-Up Network from 10:00 until 14:00 and be part of something new in Peterborough. Just bring your laptop and we will provide you with the space and coffee.
