EVENTS: DATES FOR YOUR DIARY
Exclusive networking opportunities at the
Black Country Business Club
Exclusive closed networking club
for businesses across the region
The Black Country Business Club provides a
platform where individuals can build
business relationships and promote their
products and services within a friendly and
supportive environment.
The event is live, face-to-face and meets
every fortnight on a Thursday morning from
9.30am until 11.30am.
Chamber members and non-members
are welcome to come along and visit to see
how everything works before committing to
the Club. There is an additional annual cost
to be part of the Business Club network.
At each meeting, one delegate has the
opportunity to co-host and use a 10-minute
slot to promote their business, while every
other delegate gets the opportunity to
provide a short 60-second pitch, to share
their latest news or highlight a key product/
service.
Rules of Engagement!
Members of the club agree to the
following principles:
• Only two businesses per sector/
industry will be allowed to join
• There will be a maximum of 50
members
• Membership is on a first-come,
first-served basis with a final decision on a
membership application made by the Black
Country Chamber of Commerce
• Each business is expected to deliver a
minimum of one 10-minute ‘presentation’
each year at their Club, and all businesses
deliver a 60-second pitch at every meeting
The Club will meet once a fortnight.
Cost*. There is an additional cost for the
club dependent upon which Chamber
membership you hold.
Only one representative from a business
can attend each session.
Across 25 meetings, a no show at three
consecutive Clubs will mean that a member
has forfeited their right to be part of the
Club and will be barred from future Clubs
with no refund given.
