Established in 2007, the Bradley Stoke Small Business Forum was set up by a group of small business owners in the Bradley Stoke and surrounding areas who aim to create a voice for the local business community and help each other by promoting each other’s businesses and interests.
We meet once a month on the second Monday evening between 6.30pm to 8.30pm at the Aztec Hotel to network, share skills and information, discuss a range of business related topics, support each other and presents its members with an opportunity to network and promote their services to other local businesses.. New members and visitors are always welcome.
"The group is so friendly. A hidden gem in Bradley Stoke. I think it's one of the nicest, most welcoming networking groups I've attended. No airs & graces, just honest, open, friendly people."

"It is a known fact that people are more likely to buy from people they know, like and trust and this relationship building takes time and effort. As a small business owner I know that there are many ways of achieving this goal through marketing but did not realise the potential of networking.
I joined the Bradley Stoke Small Business Forum around 2 years ago and have seen many positive benefits from networking. Last year Absolutely PC won the accolade of being the business that was passed the highest value of referrals. In addition to the extra business gain we also reduced our spending in certain areas by purchasing from people in the room, people who have a passion for what they do and offer great value for money. The guest speakers have also played a great role in focusing my attention on business specific activities. Some real gems of information have been freely given as part of the education slot by individuals that are experts in their chosen fields. Absolutely PC would like to thank the forum and encourage more small businesses to attend – it is by having a diversity of companies in the room that everyone is able to partake in more business."
