ABOUT OUR GROUP
Cotswolds Business Connect began in mid-2023, but the foundation of the group was built long before that. Many of our core members have been networking together for over five years, forming strong friendships and flourishing as a community, even through challenges like the pandemic.
What makes CBC special is the unique blend of shared experiences, knowledge, and genuine camaraderie among its members. Beyond passing business referrals, we dedicate our time to supporting each other with pride, a sense of duty, and mutual respect. This spirit of collaboration and friendship has been the cornerstone of our success.
Our group continues to grow, and we’re thrilled to have recently welcomed new members, each bringing fresh perspectives, skills, and ideas to the table. Every meeting also draws a fantastic range of visitors, and we hope our friendly approach and commitment to meaningful networking inspire them to join us.
At CBC, we’re not just about business connections—we’re about building a community that excels together.
WHAT DRIVES US
We want to achieve all the classic networking goals—growing our revenues, gaining fresh insights, and helping our businesses succeed—but with a twist. We’re committed to doing it in a way that’s anything but a chore. Yes, it’s a cliché, but we genuinely have fun along the way.
We focus on nurturing our collective skills and supporting one another, creating an environment where everyone in the group can benefit and grow together. For us, it’s about making networking both rewarding and enjoyable for all involved.
Why Choose CBC?
Our group is entirely self-funded, meaning your membership fees stay within the group rather than being sent off to a distant head office. These funds go towards making our meetings enjoyable and rewarding.
We meet twice a month at The Fox in Barrington, a fantastic pub owned by one of our valued members. Meetings start at 9:30 am and usually wrap up around 11:30 am, though many of us stick around afterward to network further or enjoy lunch together.
While our meetings have a loose structure to ensure everyone gets the chance to share what they do and connect with visitors, the atmosphere remains friendly and engaging—perfect for getting to know each other better.
Membership is £480 annually (or £40 per month), with a discounted rate of £440 if paid upfront. Included in this is excellent tea, coffee, and pastries provided by The Fox, adding to the warm and welcoming vibe.
We’re looking for members who are passionate about what they do, eager to grow their business, and ready to have fun while building genuine connections. If that sounds like you, we’d love to have you on board!
