Solent Growth Partnership - Peer Networking and Business Workshops

Imagine having a trusted circle of local business owners who understand the challenges around starting or scaling a business. People who are asking the same questions and working towards similar goals. That’s what Peer Networking is all about.


A safe space under NDA to develop a productive and passionate group of business owners. We will be holding sessions for start up businesses and a separate session for those who are established and in development and growth mode.
