Sunderland Business Network - News Detail

Sunderland Business Network celebrated its first birthday at the E-Volve Business Centre, Houghton Le Spring on the 29th April 2009. Business professionals from across the region attended the event, which featured guest speaker Rob Lawson, Editor from The Sunderland Echo.
Since its launch last year, Sunderland Business Network has continued to grow and is a fantastic opportunity for businesses to interact, promote their services, share advice and ideas with one another. With over 130 businesses attending, the evening was a fantastic success and also saw SQR Cleaning Services congratulated as the 100th member joining on the evening.
Chairman, Paul Sturgess said: “Since joining the network I have seen the benefits that membership can bring for individuals and businesses. Sunderland Business Network provides a relaxed way to make valuable business contacts, which can lead to new business opportunities.
As Chairman my aim is to develop the SBN membership to achieve a level that will ensure self sufficiency going forward and that all those who join feel that they are not just joining a work group but are becoming a part of a working / social network something that is not always experienced in very small / micro / owner managed organisations.
We are delighted to have the support of Rob Lawson, Editor of the Sunderland Echo who was guest speaker for the evening. It was also fantastic to see so many businesses displaying business stands at the event and networking with other businesses.”
