Alderley businesses invited to get together

Representatives from several businesses in the village have come together to try and revive the idea of setting up an Alderley Edge Business Network.

They would like a place for Alderley Edge based businesses to network and gain opportunities to work with other businesses that are also based in the village - so they have arranged for the first meeting to be held on Wednesday, 20th June.

The event will be an informal gathering in the upstairs room at Gusto, from 5.30pm, where the organisers are hoping to find out what everyone wants from a group such as this, as well as how often and where it should be based.

Gusto are hosting this first meeting with a drink and canapés for all, although offers from other Alderley restaurants and bars for accommodating the next meetings would be most welcome.

If you work at an Alderley Edge based business and would like to attend on June 20th, please email [email protected].

I think this is a great idea.. Something needs to be done in Alderley Edge to help local business, mainly Independents who suffer from the high rent and rates and are quickly being forced out by the big guys. It's difficult enough to get local support and we need to come together to find ways of marketing our businesses and the point of difference and quality service that we offer.
I would be interested to know if the local community would still like to see Independents in the village or are they happy with just supermarkets? If so, they need to support us before we all disapear.

I too think this is wonderful idea - I am all in favour of working in partnership with local business - together we can achieve more! Sadly I can't make this meeting, but count me in for future ones, and I'm happy to host at the gallery anytime
