Promote and market your business effectively during our Business To Business Networking Meetings. On this page you will find all the details you need including the 10 minute Speakers. They will be judged by our new PITCH or PRESENTATION voting system. Members will decide if the 10 minute speaker has delivered a valuable presentation or simply pitched for business.

You will leave our meetings with a lot more besides the connections and relationships you build. At every meeting we announce information on key business items such as education, development, funding, resources, business support and so on.

Next Meeting

I am pleased to announce that Cllr Bill Randall Leader of the Brighton & Hove City Council has accepted my invitation to attend our joint meeting with City Business Club this Friday.

At the time of writing this I have communicated with 3 other councillors but have no further confirmed acceptances or responses from the remaining councillors I invited.

Further to this the Federation of Small Business (FSB) has agreed to attend and circulated the event information to its Brighton membership and across Sussex to more than 11,000 business owners.

To summarise you can network with 3 business groups, have your point of view heard and enjoy our festive format. Don’t forget our Not So Secret Santa!
This is your chance to offer up your concerns, support the work I have been doing for more than 3 years and to demonstrate that as a group we can provide positive support

Friday 9th December from 11.30am at the Thistle Hotel, Brighton seafront.

Tickets are limited to 50 and are available by calling 01273 667756 use option 4 to book now. Or you can use our online booking form here. Priced at just £16.95 in advance or £20 on the door, subject to space being available.

You are cordially invited to join the members of Deans Business club and City Business Club for their final meeting of 2011. This joint event will be something new for all concerned as we celebrate the festive season and create an open forum for you to raise the topics that are currently affecting your business.

On the serious side

We are inviting the leaders of the council, members of the opposition and senior figures from the academic arena to participate in the forum. Although we cannot promise they will attend!
Please email cbc@ccb.ac.uk or paul@sussexbusinessbureau.co.uk with your motion for discussion. Following on from the meeting both groups will use the points raised to bring you improved subject matter and business support in 2012.

Topics such as,

 

The possibility of parking fees being increased in the City.
Business / Start up support, what now?
What if anything is being done to support the local economy?
Local Enterprise Partnership, do you know what funding is available?

It really is up to you to table the motions for discussion, please email us with your suggestions.

 

On the Fun side

On arrival you will enjoy a glass of bubbly and mince pies
We will have our open forum and festive networking.

Not SO Secret Santa

You can promote your business further by bringing a fun, humorous or mischievous gift. (Participation is entirely optional) All you need to do is bring along an item to give away, they do not need to be expensive. Only those who supply a gift will receive a gift, so you do need to be in it, to win it! Please do not bring a discount or money off voucher that requires further money to be spent by the recipient as these are not perceived as gifts.
At the close of the meeting a lunch buffet will be served and we will then retire to the bar for a spot of light refreshment.

Tickets are limited to 50 and are available by calling 01273 667756 use option 4 to book now. Or you can use our online booking form here. Priced at just £16.95 in advance or £20 on the door.

I look forward to receiving your motions and to seeing you on the 9th at 11am.
Kind Regards
Paul
