Business, over Breakfast

Southend Peers is an established Southend-on-Sea business networking and referral group that meets each Thursday morning.

Our meetings are both fun and fruitful, we welcome business owners, and would-be business owners alike, to get together to build valuable professional relationships; relationships that support, enhance and positively build business.

Joining Southend Peers will open new doors and help grow your business through a collective group of like-minded entrepreneurs.

Our Meetings

What to expect

Our meetings follow a familiar format, but with a ‘Peers’ twist.

Each week, members have the opportunity to deliver a 60-second message to the group, followed by a nominated member presenting a 10-minute introduction to themselves and their business.

Occasionally we also split into breakout groups to discuss business challenges and opportunities and how they affect our respective businesses.

Community

Southend Peers is more than just a networking group, each year we nominate a number of local charities and engage in a number of fundraising events.

Lewis Howes

Networking is marketing. Marketing yourself, your uniqueness, what you stand for

Christine Comaford-Lynch

The way of the world is meeting people through other people

Robert Kerrigan

If you want 1 year of prosperity, grow grain. If you want 10 years of prosperity, grow trees. If you want 100 years of prosperity, grow people

Chinese Proverb

A really important part of networking is actually about what you bring to the table-not just what you want to get out of it. Contribution is a big part of networking success.
