At We Mean Biz we pride ourselves on having a networking structure that is designed to help you build relationships for meaningful collaboration and this super friendly group is hosted by our outstanding Group Leader, Tamsen Garrie. This is THE BEST place to develop strong connections with fellow 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 Somerset, then this is the perfect place to be and situated in the most lovely surroundings.

One We Mean Biz member recently told us that she has seen substantial business growth since being a member, and she considers her membership with We Mean Biz as her most valuable business investment.

"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
 

"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."
Simon Frith - Frith the Locksmith (and handyman!)

"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."
Mark Terrell - The Reluctant Leader Academy & Motivated Business Club

I was looking for a networking home when I came across WMB. I had tried online networking and F2F with lots of different groups, but none felt they were a good fit for me until I met Phillippa.  She made me feel welcome and at ease straight away and the meeting that followed was a great combination of relationship building, a real sense of nurturing within the group but also the opportunity to promote my business and what I do but without any pressure to refer or hit numbers of visitors introduced.  As soon as I left that first meeting, I knew that WMB was the networking home I had been looking for and I signed up straight away.  I look forward to the monthly meetings and seeing the other members of my home group plus meeting the visitors from other groups, seeing their presentations and learning about their businesses too.  Add to this the free workshops and the opportunity to visit other groups too, WMB has had a profoundly positive impact on me and my business.
