In 2021, Leanne Bridges, High Performance Business Coach, noticed a gap in Portishead’s vibrant business scene: the absence of a dedicated networking group.

Recognising the town’s lively business community and its potential for even greater collaboration, Leanne decided to fill this gap.

Her vision was to create an independent networking group tailored to Portishead, Bristol, and North Somerset’s unique needs. This group would foster business connections and growth without the financial barriers often imposed by national networking organisations.

Today, our community thrives, consistently drawing over 25 business owners to each event. Attendees frequently share how much they enjoy the warm, welcoming atmosphere and the valuable connections they make.

We’re eager to extend this invitation to you. Join us and become part of a network where local businesses connect, grow, and succeed together.

We can’t wait to welcome you!
