Over 100 Local Businesses Expected at Newport Networking Breakfast

Dragons of Newport Big Breakfast networking event at Rodney Parade Newport

The Dragons of Newport Networking Group will host their next Big Breakfast in The Bisley Suite at Rodney Parade, Newport at 7am on Wednesday 22nd April.

The Big Breakfast is one of the region’s most popular business networking events, regularly attracting over 100 local businesses for proactive, structured networking, a light breakfast, and an opportunity to make high-quality new connections.

Designed specifically for small and medium-sized businesses, the event gives delegates the chance to meet a wide range of local owners and decision-makers, raise the profile of their business and uncover new opportunities to collaborate and trade. Facilitated networking sessions ensure everyone in the room has multiple chances to introduce their business and build meaningful relationships.
