About the group: Wednesday mornings in Littleport, just outside Ely
There are a few networking groups in Ely and the Fens to choose from, and most of them are perfectly nice. Ours is the one with the home-made breakfast, no referral quotas and the loudest laugh you'll hear before nine in the morning.
Business Brew runs every Wednesday morning at eSpace North in Littleport. We swap week by week between a breakfast meeting in the room and a quicker catch-up on Zoom, which is handy when the school run gets in the way or you're working away that week.
eSpace North sits on Wisbech Road on the north side of Littleport, with plenty of free parking and an easy run from Ely, Soham, the A10 and the A142. Whether you're working from a kitchen table in Witchford, running a shop on the Cathedral side of town or trading out of a unit on Lancaster Way, you're a few minutes away.
A visit is £10 and includes a proper breakfast, home-made by Sally Bycroft of La Cucina Italiana, one of our longer-standing members. Vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free are no trouble if you tell us when you book. Online meetings are free: pick a Zoom date when you book and we'll email you the link.
Once you decide to join, membership is £50 a month, all in. Nothing else to pay: breakfast is included at every face-to-face meeting and the online meetings are free. There's no minimum term. Pay only as long as you want to come along.
Our members are a mix of trades, services and consultants from across East Cambridgeshire and the Fens: builders, electricians, bookkeepers, web designers, mortgage advisers, estate agents, chefs, the lot. Business gets passed across the table because it makes sense, not because anyone's counting at the end of the month. Visit twice before you decide whether to join, and if it isn't for you, no awkwardness.
