New networking group aims to build better business connections in Stone

NetworkIN Logo

A new NetworkIN team is launching in Stone, aiming to bring together business owners and professionals who are keen to grow through collaboration, referrals, and community support.

The inaugural meeting takes place at The Crown Wharf on Wednesday, 21st May from 10:00 am to 12:00 pm, followed by a buffet lunch. Anyone running a business, working independently, or looking to connect with others locally is encouraged to attend and see what the new group has to offer.

A different kind of networking

NetworkIN isn’t your average networking meet-up. Instead of open mingling and business card swaps, the model focuses on building long-term, structured relationships. Each team operates with exclusive seats, meaning only one person per profession can join. This approach helps to reduce competition and fosters stronger advocacy between members.

Those who join gain access to:

  • A supportive, structured environment for growth
  • Sector exclusivity, ensuring no overlap within the team
  • Referrals tracked through a personalised online dashboard
  • Monthly business development masterclasses
  • A team of peers who actively promote and support each other

The emphasis is on making real connections, being accountable, and working together to build trust over time.
