The Business That Adapts, Survives & Thrives | Networking Breakfast

Join us for a high-energy cooked breakfast designed to power up your day – and your business. This event is open exclusively to BID members, with limited places available.

Hereford BID CEO Mike Truelove will open the event with a fast-paced update on key BID projects for 2026, highlighting new opportunities, campaigns and support you’ll want to tap into.

Next, high-performance developer Garry Jones – author and life coach – will dive into what it really takes to build a winning mindset in challenging times, sharing straight-talking tactics you can put into action immediately.

We’ll then hand over to our own marketing dynamo Peter Hubbersty, who’ll reveal sharp guerrilla marketing ideas tailor-made for small, ambitious businesses that want big impact on realistic budgets.

Expect bold ideas, honest insight, and plenty of time to network with fellow city-centre businesses over a hearty breakfast.

Book your place and get ready to adapt, survive and thrive.
