Why attend the East Durham Business Network
The East Durham Business Network is a regional business support and networking group that connects companies and organisations across East Durham and the surrounding areas.
The network offers:
-
Quarterly networking events, currently in venues in the Seaham and Peterlee such as Seaham Hall and East Durham College.
-
Business news and updates through its website and the East Durham Business magazine.
-
Support and collaboration opportunities for businesses of all sizes, helping them access resources and build connections.
The network is endeavouring to expand its reach to include other parts of Durham such as Belmont, Bowburn, Integra 61 and Durham City, aiming to create a broader platform for business engagement and growth.
It operates independently but works closely with partners like Business Durham to ensure businesses can tap into relevant support.
