"Attending the Start Up Business Club has been a fantastic way to meet and build relationships with local businesses of all sizes. The informal set up, means that people can chat in a relaxed atmosphere, whilst listening to guest speakers covering a range of insightful topics. For anyone starting or building their business, these networking events are invaluable." - Darren Witts, Treganna Designs

  

“The Vale Start Up Club has been a huge support in my business journey. Working for yourself can be extremely lonely so it’s always great to get out of the office and meet local people in a similar situation. I have been so inspired by each event and have made lots of contacts that continue to help me with business growth” - Cath Jones, Sadler Jones
