Ipswich - Powered Up Business Networking - November 2026

An evening in Ipswich with small business owners, start-ups and a drink or four if you want. PUBNetworking is built around people first, business second. The best business relationships are with those you know, like & trust and this is where you'll meet those people. Powered Up Business Networking (PUB for short, and yes, we know it's clever) is an evening networking event for small businesses and people starting out. It's for local folk on similar paths who want to learn from good speakers, swap ideas, back each other and grow their businesses. There are no memberships or contracts, so everyone in the room has chosen to be there. Business gets done, often, but that's a bonus rather than the point. Expect a fun evening, a talk that will give you something to use in your business and well, if we had an HR department, we'd get lots of stern warnings at some of the jokes. This month's speaker Our speaker is Jakki Whelan. We're not sure on the exact content at the moment but it will feature Mr Benn!
