“I genuinely get a buzz from introducing people to each other”
David Whittlestone, Founder Member and Host
We found that some networking events often have large businesses mixed in with smaller ones. If you are a small business owner, you don't really have much in common business wise with large corporations. That is why we focus on small to medium sized businesses with similar problems and challenges.
We have two main types of events
You'll meet with some of the best, most progressive leaders in the field.
We support the community, local businesses & charities.
We are SMEs with a similar demographic, so you can feel at home with business owners like you.
We help each other as we face similar business challenges.
Friendly and welcoming atmosphere, inclusive and diverse backgrounds.
Unlike other networking events this is 100% non-profit.
Some networks limit membership to certain businesses to monopolise lead generation. We don’t do this.
There are no costly fees to pay. We just charge a small amount for tickets.

" What a lovely, welcoming group with a great mix of local businesses across the two sites in Barnsley and Rotherham. I’ve made some good business connections and found some valuable, trusted suppliers too. It’s well worth a visit."
" This was the first network group I ever attended when I started my self-employment journey, and I couldn’t have started with a better group. I hugely appreciate David and Daryl for setting this up, their structure really helped ease me into networking and fill me with confidence. Being new to networking, I was very nervous at first but David and Daryl gave me so much reassurance and put me at ease. Everyone in the group is so welcoming and supportive without any pressures. I’ve made some great connections, referrals and work from this group. Genuine and casual networking at its best! "
" Went to the first meet in Barnsley, the room was filled with like-minded people who were positive, eager and friendly. Made some strong connections who I am still regularly in contact with, 3 months later. Would highly recommend this for any business looking to network, grow their connections and thrive in the environment! Thank you to the event organisers for creating something well worth talking about! "
" Great networking group, always someone new coming along as a guest. structured but relaxed at the same time..
It's always good to be around like-minded passionate business owners."
" I attended a group a couple of months ago in Barnsley and was warmly welcomed by all.
I made some great connections, enjoyed a brew and learnt something new. What more could you want?
The meeting structure is the perfect blend of easy-going but informative, making it a group that I’m eager to return to when my diary allows.
Hope to see you all again soon and thank you for having me! "
" I had my first Rotherham & Barnsley Business Link event in Rotherham and after just an hour or so of networking I’d booked in some valuable calls for my business. This was all through organic conversation and discussing how we can help each other. The approach and energy is very positive and collaborative. I’ll definitely be keeping up with the networking events and recommending. "
