“Choosing the right networking group for me and my business was very important. I joined We Are In Business in January 2022 having visited many different local groups throughout 2021. More than a networking group In Business provides a collection of experts in a wide range of fields who are super friendly and available for bouncing ideas off.”

“We Are In Business is not like the other networking groups I have attended. It really works for me and business is done between a good sized group of people from very varied businesses who genuinely like each other and want to help, without the formality of some other groups I have tried. I would highly recommend trying it for yourself and making up your own mind.”

“I'm somebody who shied away from networking. I didn’t want to do networking and if it hadn't been for Nicki I wouldn't have ever come along. I was really thankful those first weeks of starting my business because when you sat on your own at your desk at home, it can be lonely.”

“I am a proud member of In Business, in my capacity as Community Fundraiser at Yorkshire's Brain Tumour Charity. I was looking for a group that is not formal or referral-led, and I found it! All the members are super-supportive of each other and, as a result, great relationships are formed. The interactive format of the meetings works really well and everyone gets the chance to meet each other.”
