Kickstart the festive season with an engaging, informal and informative session, bringing local small business owners together to build networks and provide support.

Join FSB and Regus as we provide a festive platform for business owners from across the North East England Region to come together in an informal and engaging environment.

Our guest speaker from the University of Sunderland will be covering the business support they can offer to help your small business start, grow and thrive.

Attendees will have the opportunity to network, provide peer support, learn about local support streams, and provide candid feedback on topical matters impacting your business - whether these are challenges we can help you overcome, issues that need to be raised, or opportunities to increase support provisions that will enable business success.
