The Breakfast Club – Stockport, 25th September

The Cheshire Club is a business visibility and connecting ecosystem founded by Joanna Scott-Aspray in 2017. We host regular business connecting events across Cheshire alongside mentoring, media opportunities, awards, magazine features, podcast appearances and strategic collaborations designed to help businesses become more visible, confident and connected.

No.
Whilst connecting people is a huge part of what we do, The Cheshire Club is much more than a networking group. We are a visibility ecosystem designed to help businesses grow through relationships, opportunities, collaborations, referrals, confidence and consistency.

We welcome ambitious business owners, entrepreneurs, creatives, professionals and brands from all industries.
Our members range from start-ups and freelancers through to established companies and well-known Cheshire brands.

Not at all.
Many of our members travel from surrounding areas including Manchester, Staffordshire, Liverpool, Lancashire and North Wales and beyond (even Scotland!) to attend our events across Cheshire. Some businesses that aren't located directly in the county want to start collaborations and make connections in the Cheshire area and utilise the clubs many contacts and vast following. Everyone is welcome.

Our events are designed to feel relaxed, welcoming and genuinely worthwhile. Depending on the event, you can expect:

• Quality business connections
• Structured introductions
• Guest speakers
• Collaborative conversations
• Brand visibility opportunities
• Photos and social media exposure
• A supportive atmosphere without awkward pitching

Some events also include unique experiences, workshops, podcast premieres or themed networking concepts.

No.
The Cheshire Club supports business owners and entrepreneurs of all genders.

All of our events offer guest tickets for non-members. You can attend twice before you would need to join and commit.

• Strategic introductions

All under one ecosystem.
