TBC aims to promote networking among the small creative businesses in Leicestershire - and beyond

Research from British Gas Business has revealed that over 50% of the UK's small businesses don't do any networking, demonstrating a widespread lack of understanding about the benefits it can bring.

69% of the business owners polled said that networking isn't relevant to their enterprise, while 45% said they don't need more customers, so don't need to network.

However, the research shows that 86% of firms that do network win more business because of it, and 70% benefit from discussing key issues with other entrepreneurs.
