Chelmsford - Powered Up Business Networking - January 2026

Powered Up Business Networking is an "out of hours" event that strips away the usual networking formalities. No long pitches, no bland tea and coffee. You get real conversations with real people and plenty of laughs along the way.

The best business connections come from the people you enjoy spending time with. The ones you trust. PUBNetworking is where you find them.

We keep the structure light, the atmosphere relaxed and the focus on people. You can learn from others, pick up ideas and enjoy the night with no strings attached.

Just bring yourself, your e-ticket and a good smile.

Meet great people

We attract start-ups, experienced business owners and everything in between. With no memberships or contracts, everyone attends because they want to be there. That makes conversations easier and more genuine.

Build real relationships

People buy from people. When the pressure is off, connections grow naturally. You get to know others properly and enjoy the process.

Learn without the pitch

Every event gives you something useful to take away. Our speakers share value, not disguised sales presentations. If you learn something that helps your business, we’ve done our job.

Have fun

A relaxed environment, a drink in your hand and a few questionable jokes. PUBNetworking is built around people first, business second.

Our speaker for this event is Sally Guildford and her talk is called "What My Career Change Taught Me."

Sally will share the story behind why she joined Utility Warehouse, how she navigated the steep learning curve and the unexpected lessons she picked up along the way. The focus is on transferable ideas that any business owner can use, such as building trust, communicating clearly, staying resilient and showing people a simpler way to handle things they already use.
