The Business Network South Manchester is the premier event on the monthly business calendar.

The South Manchester Business Network is the best I have ever attended! There are online networking events, seminars, updates, 121's, networking and much more. They are always an enjoyable event. They are professionally run, in a quality hotel with quality people. After my first visit I joined the group as I felt I found my Networking home with likeminded people. Simon and Win have supported me, since I have joined the group and look forward to being a member for many years.
