The Hertfordshire Business Club is a new joint venture between The Business Club Hertfordshire and The Hertfordshire Business Independent to provide networking, resources and services to local businesses. It will offer membership packages, business events, training seminars, an online business directory, coworking spaces, a monthly business magazine and discounts through a club card. The organization aims to create the largest business community in the county both online and offline through engaging with other business groups and councils.

1. A NEW BEGINNING

2. A NEW BEGINNING
THE HERTFORDSHIRE BUSINESS CLUB is a joint venture between The
Business Club Hertfordshire and The Hertfordshire Business Independent.
The two entities have joined forces to bring Hertfordshire businesses the
ultimate in business networking, information, resources and services – all under
one brand.
The Hertfordshire Business Club team have already collaborated on two very
successful local business initiatives:
The Hertfordshire Business EXPO
In its second year and following its 4th EXPO, the largest event of its kind in the
county.
Business BUZZ
A series of dynamic monthly drop-in networking events, presently meeting in
Harpenden, St Albans, Hemel and Watford, with many more planned for 2013
and beyond.

3. A NEW BEGINNING
In 2008, Hertfordshire businesses had a limited choice of business networking
organisations.
The community needed something fresh and new, and The Business Club
delivered that.
Four years on, the networking landscape has changed dramatically and it is time,
again for a new apporach.
The new club will retain all the best parts of The Business Club, combined with
a wide variety of new events and member benefits.

4. A NEW BEGINNING
THE HERTFORDSHIRE BUSINESS CLUB : THE DIFFERENCE
The only business organisation in Hertfordshire to offer:
Membership at basic and premium levels on a corporate basis
Monthly member’s events
Variety of open events to suit all tastes, including breakfast, lunch and evening,
plus training events & seminars
Business magazine subscription
Online presence with fully optimised business directory
Serviced office and meeting space access
Club card, offering discounts and special offers
Huge discounts [for premium members] on all events and in house brands, e.g.

5. OUR VISION
Our vision is to combine our expertise to create the biggest and best business
community, on-line, off-line and in print for the county of Hertfordshire.
Our ethos is to embrace and engage with chambers of commerce, councils,
business organisations, places of learning, and networking organisations to
continually deliver high quality, high value events for Hertfordshire’s business
community.
Our style is inclusive, so many of our services will be open to all, with exclusive
and compelling benefits for our members.
We have already established strong relationships and support partnerships with
many prominent local organisations, who currently support The HertsEXPO and
Business BUZZ
