The team at North City Business Centre are delighted to host a Christmas themed networking event designed especially for you, the business owner, in a format that helps you promote your business.

Open to community groups, business owners and anyone thinking about starting a business or anyone looking to expand their network.

This event has been carefully designed to ensure that every attendee has the opportunity to connect with all the other business owners in the room.

This event will help you:

• Meet other business owners
• Find out the services each business provides and their ideal customer
• How each attendee can support each other to achieve business growth

Join us for an action-packed afternoon in the hospitality suite at Crusaders FC on Tuesday 9th December 2025. This event has been created specifically for you, the business owner, offering an excellent opportunity to gain new connections, meet potential partners and promote your business.

Event Overview:

Speed Networking is an energetic and effective method for connecting with business professionals from a wide range of industries and sectors. We will help set the scene with a relaxed mix and mingle over a Christmas buffet to start informal networking.

By participating in this structured format, you'll have the chance to quickly identify valuable contacts and build a network of new connections, all within a short period of time.

Grow your network, share your expertise, and build lasting relationships with like-minded individuals.

Why Attend?

Don't miss this exclusive opportunity to expand your network on a one-to-one basis. Perfect for anyone who finds speaking in a group networking environment challenging or gets nervous speaking in front of large groups.

Please Note: This is not an event where you are expected to stand up and deliver a sales pitch in front of a room.

You will have the chance to speak to everyone attending in a one to one timed and structured format.

Remember to bring your business cards!
