At We Mean Biz we pride ourselves on having a networking culture & structure that will help you build meaningful relationships to support your business growth. This super friendly group is hosted by Andy Hook, and Cassie Tipson is our fabulous and super smiley Connecter. This is THE BEST place to develop strong connections with fellow North Somerset based business owners, all looking to support one another.

Over a freshly cooked delicious lunch that's been inspired by the seasons and local sustainable ingredients, you will have the opportunity to connect, share and learn. During the networking meeting you will gain insight from expert speakers, take part in a one minute round where everyone shares a little about what they do, contribute in the business surgery, and feel inspired by the positive and uplifting atmosphere that we create.  If you are looking for networking in North Somerset, then this is the perfect place to be and conveniently situated in the most lovely surroundings, with plenty of free parking on site.

What our members say about We Mean Biz and the meetings

"What I appreciate most about our WMB group is the support of other members when things are challenging (which they often are in business!) and the opportunity to be introduced to businesses that need Mental Health training for their leaders and wider workforce."
Tamsen Garrie - Mental Health in the Workplace
Member since October 2016

"I’ve built my business almost entirely on face to face networking with WMB and on social media, so I wouldn’t consider not being a member."

Member since September 2019

"After attending the launch meeting of the Somerset WMB Group, I just knew it was the right group for me. The format, calibre of people and the vibe of the group was something I wanted to be part of and I’m looking forward to being part of its future growth and inevitable success."

“Networking has always been part of my working life, and not always an enjoyable part.  I have known of the We Mean Biz group for many years and attended as a guest at a number of the groups to get a better ‘feel’ of how they operated, so when the North Somerset group started up, I was absolutely thrilled and joined immediately.  The meetings are always interesting, and I learn something new at every meeting, but it is the networking and business introductions that happen behind the scenes and the support and challenge of the group that make my membership of the We Mean Biz network so valuable to me.”

“I’m new to Networking and found the thought of it really daunting. However, the North Somerset group are a lovely friendly bunch who have welcomed me into the group and I look forward to our monthly meetings. Being part of this group has helped to build my confidence and networking skills. For anyone thinking about joining.. I’d highly recommend it!”

We Mean Biz is my network of choice, I really enjoy attending my monthly meeting with the North Somerset group and treat it as my day out of the office! The venue is great for 121's or working before the meeting and then the food during the meeting is delicious, especially the deserts! I have found the group brilliant, everyone has been so welcoming and supportive of me and my fairly new business. I feel like the group have really gotten to know me and the business is a friendly way, and I have received some great referrals from it!
