Durham Start Ups: Thrive Hive Network Launch

Liz Barclay, the UK small business commissioner will be joining us to launch a peer to peer networking programme for startups and small businesses in County Durham to ensure they are set up for success in 2025!

Thrive Hive – Durham
Your actions in the next few months will determine how 2025 feels for you, your business…and perhaps also those around you. It can be an isolating and lonely place running a business. Now imagine having the clarity, confidence and power of a supportive group with a range of experiences and skills to help shape your future. That sounding board, the benefits of the ‘corridor chat’, the wisdom of a supportive team, available to you right now.

This is Thrive Hive Live
We are excited to be launching Thrive Hive peer to peer networks in county Durham. The Thrive Hive programme is completely free to join and is funded by UK Government as part of the Durham Startups Programme. Thrive Hive delivers a safe space to encourage well-being and community for small and micro business owners in County Durham.

Guest speaker Liz Barclay, the UK Small Business Commissioner will be joining the Thrive Hive Team and Durham Startups to introduce why this peer-to-peer wellbeing programme is important to businesses in the region.

Your community. Your space. Your business. Your freedom to be you. Your peace of mind. A group to celebrate success and to work through the sticky times.

Are you running a business and want to be able to talk though those thoughts and ideas that are bouncing around in your head? Do you wake up in the middle of the night worrying about ‘that problem ’which and don’t know who can help?

Thrive Hive peer to peer networks may be for you. The network is a space to meet with like-minded business owners, to receive and provide, support and guidance on what is important to you and your business, in a safe, curated group setting. Imagine being surrounded by like-minded business owners, exchanging ideas, and gaining clarity on those business challenges that keep you up at night. This is your chance to meet, support, and learn from others who understand the journey.

Places are limited so sign up today or email durham@yourthrivehive.co.uk if you would like to talk to one of our team about the programme. This event is for business owners in and around Durham.

Arrival from 11.30am for Networking with the main event running 12-2pm – there will also be an opportunity for further networking afterwards.
