What is the Glossop Business Network?
A Business Network launched two years ago in June 2006 byBarbara Hastings-Asatourian of Contraception Education and Kathy Ford of the Solutions Agency, who through setting up their own businesses realised the value of networking.

Glossop Business Network helps businesses to meet together in a relaxed environment to exchange information, hand out promotional materials and learn more about each others' services.

What's different about the Glossop Business Network?
There are networks outside Glossop, but for people working or doing business in Glossop, it is not always easy to travel to them. We set up this network to be convenient for Glossop, efficient, (because the networks take place when we wouldn't otherwise be working) and really inexpensive no annual membership fees, and half the price of many other networking events, coming to GBN can mean you save up to £20 compared to other Breakfast Clubs.

Thanks to Glossop-based First Impression, who have supported us since day one, we use EMail Shot to send out a monthly newsletter with special offers and requests for help from Glossop businesses. Click the button to the left of this page to subscribe to the newsletter. And we can also offer Glossop Businesses news coverage on our website's news page. Just send us your news by email to info@glossopbusinessnetwork.co.uk and we will add it to both the newsletter and the web.

Glossop is the home of many businesses large and small who can help each other. At our meetings businesses get an opportunity to network informally, then, if we choose, to stand up and present our business in a one minute "commercial". Outside speakers also inform of important issues like taxation, funding, Fair Trade, Police support to local businesses (e.g. GRIP), the work of local community groups and much more.
