Set up in Harrogate in 2012, the In Group networking group offers businesses and service providers in the Harrogate area the opportunity to meet one morning a month in a friendly and relaxed setting to help each other to succeed.

We operate on a not for profit basis and membership costs are kept low – £10 per meeting  – to fund refreshments, occasional training sessions and social events for members.

The group is open to men and women who offer products or services to those in the Harrogate area. Each meeting involves open networking, members’ mentions (where members speak out about special offers for the month or key areas they are promoting), a focus in more depth on one or two of our businesses and a slot for visitors to speak. Tea and coffee are provided.

The group is managed by two local business people on a voluntary basis; Steph Simmons, of Steph Simmons photography chairs the meetings and Anna Caswell, of Caswell Design, manages the email account and meeting arrangements.

To get in touch with Anna or Steph, use our contact page.

Visitors are very welcome as we like to find out about other visiting or local Harrogate businesses and members benefit from sharing details about their offers. Visitors pay just £10 and get the opportunity to talk to the group during the meeting about what they do as well as join in with the informal networking before the meeting.

Sessions over the past year have included: –

– "Successful networking" by local training hero: Sally Roberts of Fun Training for Results

– interactive strategy workshop run by the brilliant Janet Doran of The Positive Pen, a very useful resource for small businesses
