Putting a buzz back into town’s networking community

Greg Pawsey

Greg Pawsey is on a one-man mission to get the Brackley business community buzzing again.

The will advisor and estate planner found the lack of interaction with other local business owners during lockdown challenging both personally and professionally.

Looking for a solution he came across Business Buzz, a group of informal networking events across the country which at the time were operating virtually.

“I loved the Buzz format, it is so relaxed and friendly and everyone is genuinely interested in helping each other with their time or advice,” Greg said.

“I had been attending the virtual events for around 12 to 18 months when we finally came out of lockdown so when the opportunity to launch a live event in Brackley came up, I jumped at the chance to be the host.”

Brackley is a delightful town in which to network, he added.

“Due to its close proximity to merging county lines there is huge opportunity to raise your profile and meet key business partners from far afield.”

Brackley Buzz relaunched its live events in January and has gained more than 40 attendees at each Buzz so far. Meetings take place on the first Thursday of every month at The Plough Pub & Kitchen on the High Street between 10am and 12 noon. Tickets are £6.

Business Buzz takes a fresh approach to business net-working, with no membership fees, subscriptions, no pressure of sales pitches or even commitment to attend. The drop-in monthly events offer a relaxed and informal space to meet, and make friends, have genuine conversations and harness a supportive community.
