Incredible Connections in a Relaxed Environment
Great people, fantastic location, and easy parking. Elysia and Liz run an incredible networking group that feels relaxed yet productive. I’ve made some excellent connections here and would encourage any new business owner to come along and see for themselves

One of the best
I have been to lots of networking events over the years and TBN is one of the best. It is structured which allows you to have exposure to all of the people on your tables, and creates great opportunities for 1-2-1's if you want them. You can even have a ten minute slot to chat to the whole room- I encourage everyone to! It is friendly and warm; a great place for those new to networking or those who want to continue building on their existing relationships. I love this event, it makes networking a joy. And the TBN team do a brilliant job at bringing like-minded business people together. Well done!

Excellent networking events!
I have been attending TBN events for a number of years and I can honestly say there is nothing quite like it. There is definitely a "TBN Vibe" to their events, from the warm welcome on arrival, the well structured and facilitated networking, the insightful talks and the hosts keeping us on track during the event. I have recommended TBN to a number of people and will carry on doing so. Thanks to Liz and the whole TBN team!
Warm & welcoming networking - it does exist!
I joined TBN in November 2024 hoping to meet some lovely people but not expecting much or any business! My experiences are right on the first point and wrong on the second! I've found the team at TBN to be warm, welcoming and experienced without any pressure to generate leads or referrals, which is refreshing.
Being a business owner can sometimes be a lonely place and the TBN meetings are full of like minded people facing similar challenges, celebrating successes and offering ideas when needed.
I have met some wonderful people, reconnected with some after years of not being in touch and generated additional work for our team. Thank you TBN for creating fantastic networking groups & it's highly recommended by me!

This is the only Networking I do around Dorset now. Always busy, always new faces, always interesting! Can't wait for the next one!
Refreshing
What a refreshing way to network.
From the moment I walked through the door I was greeted by smiling faces and a very relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. The TBN team have created something so special.
Highly recommended to anyone looking to connect and grow.
First time for me at a Boardroom…
First time for me at a Boardroom Network event and what a good investment of time.
These gatherings are what you make of them and the organisers have assembled all of the component parts to make for a great networking forum.
Fantastic group!
My initial TBN meeting was my first networking experience. I didn't know what to expect as I was very much out of my comfort zone. The meeting hosts and other attendees made me feel welcome and at ease and I came away from feeling that it had been a positive and enjoyable event and I’d made some great new contacts.
I've now become a member and really look forward to these events, both in person and online. Whether I’m seeing people for the first time or many times, I come away feeling that I have gained new knowledge, made new contacts and it feels like one big eclectic family who are there to cheer you on and support your and your business. For anyone still undecide, I’d say “go for it”, you won't be disappointed.
THE Best Networking Group ever
THE Best Networking Group ever! I have been spoilt with many years of amazing connections, collaborations and fun support with TBN. Would highly recommend you pop along and see for yourself as to what magic can happen for you, your connections and your business. Thank you Jacqui & the Team xx

This was my first time attending The Boardroom Network meeting in Swindon, as I am relatively new into my role as a Local Business Development Manager at Swindon Audi - Inchcape UK. I found it a really nice event with very useful contacts and companies to connect with in the local area and there was a great energy that made it a fun and engaging event. I will be back for more and the venue was nice too.

First event and a very welcoming experience!
I attended my first TBN event this week and found all existing members very welcoming. The event ran smoothly, to time, was very well organised and a lovely venue. I am looking forward to the next one.
Relationship building at its best!
I love the format and having table ambassadors really helps move the conversation along ensuring that every visitor gets an opportunity to contribute or simply listen. Highly recommended.
Highly recommended!
TNB is a friendly, welcoming, supportive and collaborative networking group. A great mix of face to face and online meetings that provide the opportunity to connect, grow, do business (and laugh quite a lot!) I would highly recommend 👍🏻
Great fun
Great company great mix of businesses, best ever Table Ambassadors and good mix of members and visitors. Then there is the special veniue and attentive Golf Club staff. To quote a certain movie star "I'll be back" but not in the way he meant it!
What a friendly supportive networking group
The Boardroom Network is, by far the most friendly supportive networking group. Every effort is made to welcome and include visitors and new members alike at each meeting, whether it’s online or in person.
If you’re looking to make and grow new connections, give us a try. You’ll be in great company.
I love it!
This networking organisation has managed to create such a lovely and welcoming environment: 5 mins in and someone already introduced me to other members. 1 hr in and I decided to join them and become a member :-)
