Connecting Suffolk Businesses

Connecting Suffolk Businesses.

Are you looking for a business networking breakfast that is just a bit different?

Do you want to meet other business owners in a relaxed, friendly setting?

Do you want something smaller and more personal than the usual networking groups?

Welcome to Grade 𝟏 Networking. 

Set in Central Bury St Edmunds, we provide simple, friendly networking for businesses in Suffolk.

Founded by its members, for its members, this group is for you if you are looking for: 

  • A smaller group – our maximum size is 20 members

  • A relaxed, friendly atmosphere – our meetings have just the right mix of structure and informality

  • Regular meetings – we meet every other Thursday at 7:25am. Enough to build good connections but not so much that attendance is a burden

  • To be the only business of your type in the room – we only permit one category of any business type in the room. 

Grade 1 Networking is a not-for profit organisation. Your monthly cost covers your breakfast and the running costs of the network. That means our costs are a good deal lower than most other networking groups.
