Connects is a not-for-profit, relaxed and informal networking opportunity facilitated by number of local business owners in the Staffordshire area who enjoy bringing people together and promoting the many positive aspects of local community.

Each month, we carefully choose our guest speakers who have success stories, interesting projects and events to share that are happening on our doorstep.

This month we have Brilliant Bamboo CIC's Gemma Thomas.

Brilliant Bamboo, based in North Staffordshire, focuses on harnessing the potential of UK-grown bamboo for both people and the planet. Emerging from a collaborative project involving artists, academics, architects, engineers, and local communities, this organization aims to cultivate, construct, and explore the future possibilities of bamboo.

Since its inception in August 2023, Brilliant Bamboo operates as a not-for-profit social enterprise, partnering with various communities to create positive impacts on lives and the environment.

Whether you're a local entrepreneur, business owner or organisation, there are no fees to attend: the meetings are free thanks to generous support from the team at the Newcastle-under-Lyme BID, so be sure to bring your business cards and share the event with others who might be interested
