“Real connections, not sales pitches — that’s what Birmingham Thursday Business Networking is all about.”

Nigel Holland BA (Hons) FCA

Birmingham Thursday Business Networking takes place every Thursday evening at 6:00 pm and provides a welcoming and supportive environment for business owners, professionals, and entrepreneurs to meet and connect.

It’s a free, open networking group where the focus is on building genuine business relationships, sharing opportunities, and supporting each other’s growth. There are no membership fees, no commitments, and no pressure — just real conversations with people who understand the challenges and rewards of running a business.

Each week, attendees include a mix of start-ups, established companies, freelancers, and specialists from across the West Midlands. You’ll meet people from a wide variety of industries — finance, marketing, property, technology, legal, trades, consultancy, and more. The diversity of the group ensures that every session is interesting, engaging, and full of new connections.

The atmosphere is informal yet professional. You can expect a friendly welcome, introductions from everyone in the room, and plenty of time for relaxed conversation. Many participants have found new clients, suppliers, and collaborators simply by turning up and being part of the discussion.

Networking starts promptly at 6:00 pm, so it’s best to arrive a few minutes early to make the most of the event. There’s no need to prepare a formal presentation — just bring your enthusiasm, business cards, and a clear idea of the kind of people or opportunities you’re hoping to meet.

After a brief round of introductions, the session flows naturally with open networking. Conversations cover everything from local business news and marketing ideas to finance, technology, and shared experiences. You’ll find a helpful, respectful community that values collaboration over competition.

If you’re new to networking, don’t worry — the group is very welcoming. Regular attendees make a special effort to introduce newcomers and help everyone feel comfortable. By the end of the evening, you’ll likely leave with several new contacts and perhaps even a few promising leads.

This event is ideal for anyone looking to:

• • • Raise awareness of their business locally

    • Find new clients or suppliers

    • Collaborate with other professionals

    • Learn from others’ experiences

    • Build confidence in networking

It’s completely free to attend — no tickets, no joining fee, and no ongoing costs. Just your time, your business, and your willingness to connect.
