Originally established around 2010 by a local solicitor and businessman, Network Knutsford had been successfully running for nearly a decade before COVID-19 intervened.  But with the pandemic well behind us, Helen Rogers (one of the founding organisers) from Knutsford Admin and Terry Hayward, CEO of North Cheshire Chamber were keen to revive it and establish a regular and routine event for local businesses, with the Chamber at hand to offer dedicated support activities to local businesses.

So, come and join the Network Knutsford networking events on the second Wednesday of every month.  Attendance will be free for both Chamber members and non-members, with attendees encouraged to support the venue by purchasing refreshments. We welcome all businesses who are interested in doing business in and around Knutsford.

Our event will be held at The Tea Room. To book, click here.

We are excited to announce that we are exhibiting at this year's Knutsford Business Expo, organised by Cheshire Business.

We would love to see lots of members there. This is also a great opportunity for anyone considering joining our Chamber, to meet us and find out how we can support and help you and your business.

The exhibition is at the wonderful Stock Farm Barn,  an events venue located in the village of Ashley in Cheshire. The barn dates back to the 18th century and was originally used as a cowshed and dairy farm. It has since been renovated and converted into a stylish events space, while still retaining many of its original features.

The challenge in today’s business environment is to integrate traditional marketing techniques with digital strategies to engage customers across a range of channels whilst maintaining a consistent brand voice.

This Summer workshop is being held at the stunning family-owned Capesthorne Hall. The stately home is a historic country house located near the village of Siddington in Cheshire, England, and was built in the early 18th century for Sir William Meredith - it has been the ancestral home of the Bromley-Davenport family since the mid-19th century.

The event will kick-start with informal networking over light refreshments in the Lakeside suite, followed by welcome introductions from the Chamber of Commerce, and the team at Capesthorne who will give a potted history of the Hall. This will be followed by our guest speaker, Ceri James from Action Coach UK.

The workshop will cover:

• Digital Marketing Strategies: Learn how to effectively use social media, email marketing, and content marketing to reach and engage your target audience.
• Brand Consistency: Understand the importance of maintaining a consistent brand voice and identity across all marketing channels.
• Customer Engagement: Explore techniques for building strong, lasting relationships with your customers through integrated marketing approaches.
• AI Tools and Applications: Discover how artificial intelligence can enhance your marketing efforts, from personalized customer experiences to data-driven decision making.

This event is free for businesses in the Cheshire East area and funded by the UK Government through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund. In collaboration with Cheshire East Council and funded by the UK Government Levelling Up funding.
