A NEW BEGINNING

THE HERTFORDSHIRE BUSINESS CLUB is a joint venture between The Business Club Hertfordshire and The Hertfordshire Business Independent.

The two entities have joined forces to bring Hertfordshire businesses the ultimate in business networking, information, resources and services – all under one brand.

The Hertfordshire Business Club team have already collaborated on two very successful local business initiatives:

The Hertfordshire Business EXPO In its second year and following its 4th EXPO, the largest event of its kind in the county.

Business BUZZ A series of dynamic monthly drop-in networking events, presently meeting in Harpenden, St Albans, Hemel and Watford, with many more planned for 2013 and beyond.

A NEW BEGINNING

In 2008, Hertfordshire businesses had a limited choice of business networking organisations.

The community needed something fresh and new, and The Business Club delivered that.

Four years on, the networking landscape has changed dramatically and it is time, again for a new apporach.

The new club will retain all the best parts of The Business Club, combined with a wide variety of new events and member benefits.

A NEW BEGINNING

THE HERTFORDSHIRE BUSINESS CLUB : THE DIFFERENCE

The only business organisation in Hertfordshire to offer:

A NEW BEGINNING

Our vision is to combine our expertise to create the biggest and best business community, on-line, off-line and in print for the county of Hertfordshire.

Our ethos is to embrace and engage with chambers of commerce, councils, business organisations, places of learning, and networking organisations to continually deliver high quality, high value events for Hertfordshire’s business community.

Our style is inclusive, so many of our services will be open to all, with exclusive and compelling benefits for our members.

We have already established strong relationships and support partnerships with many prominent local organisations, who currently support The HertsEXPO and Business BUZZ
