Kelso Networking Groups

Business Network Scotland
Networking is about meeting people and building long-term relationships. You need a vehicle to meet the right people, those with both a buying and selling power, from the right companies - representing a broad range of services and with a similar attitude towards active networking. However, face-to-face networking is off the cards at the moment so if you want to be here at the end of this you need to keep making connections. Get ahead of your competitors and Zoom into online networking with BNS! Spaces online are limited so book your space before someone else does.

Women's Enterprise Scotland
Women’s Enterprise Scotland (WES) is a not-for-profit Community Interest Company based in Scotland with a global reach. A catalyst for economic growth and inclusion, WES works to create an environment where women can start up in business and thrive. The simple fact is that more women-owned businesses in Scotland means more money for the economy. Research shows that women-owned businesses already contribute a staggering £8.8bn into the economy every year and have created over 230,000 jobs in local communities across Scotland. Yet women-owned businesses are just 20% of the business base in Scotland. We believe we can encourage more women and girls to try out their business ideas, through the provision of support co-designed by women-owned businesses and experts in gender techniques. Consigning the current gender gap in enterprise to history.

Scottish Borders Chamber of Commerce
The Scottish Borders Chamber of Commerce is one of 26 in the Scottish Chamber network. Our job is to inform and facilitate sharing of information to help members’ businesses flourish. Networking also plays a major part in business relationships – including collaboration with our neighbouring Chambers. The Chamber also acts as a “voice” for members concerns and liaises closely with MPs, MSPs and local Councillors is this respect. Quarterly meetings are held between members of the Chamber Board and our local Political representatives, which is useful not only to the Chamber but also to the representatives themselves. Members can meet up on the last Friday of each month for lunch, a guest speaker and a bit of business “networking”. These events can be found on the events page of this website as well as within the regular eBulletins. Every week dozens of emails are received by the Chamber with the ones that appear to be of most interest to members forming the basis of these Members’ Bulletins. As with any business association, you get out what you put in. Make use of the Chamber’s events, read the bulletins and, most of all, feed back to us what your concerns are so that we can bring them to the attention of the policymakers themselves. 27 North Bridge Street, Hawick, TD9 9BD
