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.
