Our events programme is designed to make networking available and convenient to businesses throughout Croydon before work, through lunch and after work. You don't have to be a member of Croydon Business to attend networking events.
(Please note that priority to attend events is always given to partners.)

As small and large businesses have different needs we provide different events to cater for both. But throughout the year we provide events and initiatives that are designed to bring small and large businesses together with the aim of doing business.

NETWORKING FOR BEGINNERS We know from experience that if you have never networked before you’ll probably be a little apprehensive. Our advice is to keep at it and go networking regularly to hone your skills. If you let us know that you are new to networking, we’ll look after you and before you know it you’ll be working the room like a professional.

FOR THE EXPERIENCED NETWORKER Our team has been researching the needs of professional networkers for some time and so realise the importance of a constructive environment in order to do business effectively without wasting time and effort. This is why we are constantly developing our events to ensure that you have the opportunity to speak to everybody in attendance.

Croydon Business recommends that you bring along the following tools to networking events:

• Plenty of business cards (x100)
• A smile
• Fresh breath mints!

And always:

• Make sure you take the time to write notes about the people you meet
• Decide, plan & prepare how you are going to follow up your leads before the event
