When it comes to building meaningful business connections and driving local growth, Thebestofnorthwest is more than just a network, we’re a community. Our events are designed with one goal in mind: to bring together brilliant local businesses in a relaxed, productive environment where real relationships are formed and real value is exchanged.

Whether you're looking to meet new clients, collaborate with fellow business owners, or get fresh ideas to move your business forward, our monthly and one-off networking events are packed with opportunities to connect, learn, and grow.

Three Networking Events, Every Single Month

We’re proud to host three core networking events each month, each with its own format and unique benefits. Here’s what you can expect:

1. Breakfast Networking – Fuel Your Morning, Fire Up Your Business

Held on the second Wednesday of every month at The Village Hotel, Bury, our Breakfast Club is where the day begins with strong coffee, a hearty full English breakfast, and even stronger connections. Running from 7:00 am to 9:00 am, this morning session is perfect for early risers who want to meet other proactive professionals and kickstart their day with productive conversations.

Whether you're a first-timer or a returning member, there's always a warm welcome waiting for you.

2. Afternoon Networking – Spotlight on Our Members

Our Afternoon Networking events are hosted at the premises of one of our members, giving them the chance to showcase their business, workspace, or services in a personal and interactive way.

It’s a great opportunity to experience local businesses, hear their story, and connect with other attendees in a relaxed, friendly setting. We love seeing members support one another – it’s part of what makes Thebestofnorthwest network so special.

3. Brunch Networking – Let’s Solve Real Business Challenges

Taking place on the fourth Wednesday of every month, our Brunch Networking is similar to Breakfast, except we start a little later, perfect for those who can't quite face those early morning starts. Following 60 second introductions, one business owner takes to the front to present a 10-minute presentation on their business journey, challenges, highs and lows.

This format brings out the best in our community: honesty, experience, support, and collective wisdom. It's not just about making contacts; it's about helping each other grow. A delicious brunch is also provided.

One-Off Events That Leave a Lasting Impact

In addition to our monthly meetups, we host stand-out, one-off events that bring something special to the local business community.

Impact Day at Imagination Street, Bolton

This year, we launched our very first Impact Day, and it was a game-changer. Held at Imagination Street, a venue set up like a real-life film set, the day was full of inspiration, strategy, and community spirit.

We welcomed six fantastic guest speakers, each sharing actionable insights that attendees could implement in their businesses right away. Combined with incredible Indian food and a creative venue, it was an event that brought learning, networking, and fun together in the perfect mix.

Business Over Bowling – Networking for a Cause

Every year, we host Business Over Bowling, a laid-back networking evening where all proceeds go to a local charity. It’s our way of giving back while still creating space for connections, and a bit of friendly competition, of course.

Networking at Vertu Land Rover, Bolton

Another highlight was our event at Vertu Land Rover Bolton, which brought together business professionals in a high-end showroom setting. From car lovers to seasoned networkers, this event offered something for everyone, proof that our events can happen anywhere, as long as there's a passion for community and growth.

More Than Networking – It’s a Community

At Thebestofnorthwest, we believe in the power of people. Our events aren’t about hard selling or handing out dozens of business cards, they’re about real connections, real conversations, and real support.

We’re proud to say that our members don’t just network — they champion one another. Whether you're starting up, scaling, or simply want to feel part of something meaningful in the local business scene, there's a seat for you at our table.
