For business support and networking opportunities - corporate membership with Dorset Business makes perfect business sense.
Dorset Business is an independent organisation which was created to benefit its members' businesses and to enhance the business environment of Dorset.
There are many benefits of becoming a corporate member of Dorset Business.
Networking breakfasts, lunches and suppers
Meet other local business people at a range of networking events. We often have keynote speakers who offer business advice and expertise and you'll get the chance to network informally at these events.
Our lunches are held at top class venues in Poole and around Dorset. With 70 to 120 attendees, it's a great way to network and attract valuable new business.
Networking suppers are designed to be fun and interactive, but still provide a great opportunity to network and swap business advice. We've held murder mystery nights, Christmas in August, skittles evenings and go-karting.
Speed networking
A highly effective way to network - you'll get to meet everyone at the event, so bring along plenty of business cards
Business seminars
We regularly run business seminars covering topics which affect local businesses. These seminars cover topical subjects, such as new legislation or strategies for business growth.
We can also advise on skills and training for your business.
