The Newbury Business Group, an independent organisation offering professional business networking in West Berkshire

The Newbury Business Group is the foremost networking organisation in West Berkshire; it meets every Friday at the Donnington Valley Golf Club in Newbury.

The group exists to promote its members and is 100% independent and not for profit,- no fat cat franchisees here! Instead the group's membership fees are used to cover members's breakfast, any guest's breakfasts and social events - anything left over goes to charity.

Nigel Morgan is proud to be the current chairman of The Newbury Business Group and being in public relations, naturally is a strong proponent of the Group:

"When I first encountered the Newbury Business Group in 2007, I was blown away  - so this was what networking was all about! Compared with so many other networking franchises it was fresh, dynamic and crammed full of passionate business people who were more concerned about helping one another than making a fast buck.

"I still go networking and belong to other organisations, but rest assured I have yet to see any other group come close to the energy that radiates from the Group every Friday morning.

"Each week we see members coming to breakfast, bringing guests and brimming with enthusiasm and good ideas that they are bursting to share with the group; at the tail end of the week this is a fine expresso - or a kick up the behind - whatever works for you. What I know is that myself and fellow members leave on a Friday morning, often after one-to-one meetings, energised and ready to make the most of a day that most people see as a precursor to the weekend.

"I would have no hesitation in recommending The Newbury Business Group to anyone who is serious about their business."
