EASTBOURNE BUSINESS NETWORKING

 

First Friday Newtork, Eastbourne.

 

Business Networking is a great way to make new friends, business contacts, and to put on weight!

 

If you are self employed or run a small firm in Eastbourne, we would strongly recommend that you consider adding networking to your marketing strategy. Not only does it widen your circle of business contacts, it can keep you in touch with what is going on in the local business world, and potentially bring in more trade!

 

You will find a list of Eastbourne based business networking clubs below, but if you want to learn more about networking, please visit our national Business Networking section.

 

Friday Network

 

The Friday Network is a monthly free business networking event held on various Fridays with meetings across East Sussex, West Sussex and Hampshire.

 

Free entry, no fees: just turn up, no need to pre book, no 'lock-outs'. Just bring plenty of business cards and promotional material...

 

The value of networking is now widely accepted. Most businesses realise that word-of-mouth recommendation is by far the best way to gain new business. If you are looking for new customers, new suppliers or merely want to meet and chat with other business people to share experiences, talk about your recent successes or discuss mutual problems, then bring some business cards and come along.
