Sunderland businesses invited to network

Wearside businesses are set to benefit when a new business group launches next month. Sunderland Business Network, the newest branch of Business Clubs North East Ltd (BCNE), is to open in March. BCNE business clubs already operate at locations throughout the region, including Derwentside, Durham, South Tyneside and Tees Valley.

Tony Spence of BCNE said: “The sole purpose of Business Clubs North East Ltd is to help and support small businesses in the area to develop and prosper. Sunderland has an exceptionally vibrant business community, and recent developments in the city mean that new companies are starting all up the time. “With Sunderland Business Network we hope to facilitate a vibrant business to business self-help network, providing opportunities for members to expand their network of contacts, develop skills, and access useful information and advice.”

Sunderland City Council is backing the network and representatives will be on-hand at the upcoming launch to discuss their involvement in the project.

Janet Snaith, Head of Business and Investment at Sunderland City Council, said: “Sunderland Business Network will provide a fantastic opportunity for local businesses to mix, interact, and promote their products and services. It will give members the chance to share ideas, and learn from others who have had similar experiences.”

The launch of Sunderland Business Network will take place on Tuesday 18 March, at E-volve Business Centre, Rainton Bridge South Business Park. For more information visit www.sunderlandbusinessnetwork.co.uk.
