Ealing business networking in person 1st August 2025
Welcome to our Ealing business networking in person group.
Grow your business networking connections in Ealing and beyond.
Running a business can be lonely. Who do you turn to for support? How do you meet potential collaborators or suppliers? Attending our Ealing business networking group will introduce you to people who care about you and your business. They may become customers or introducers. They will almost certainly become supporters and friends.
Fabulous Networking is a membership organisation, but visitors are always welcome. No profession or gender restrictions. We believe that there are opportunities to be gained by working with our competitors. Attend up to three of our events before deciding if you’d like to join.
Your attendance fee is £15 (£12 for members) to cover venue and light refreshments. This is a tax deductible business expense and receipts will be issued.
Support, learning and inspiration are three of our core values and will be woven through the meeting. We want you to leave feeling it was a morning well spent.
A typical Ealing agenda
Our agenda is structured but flexible to respond to the needs and size of the group on the day.
- Informal networking with light refreshments

Introduction round
We vary our introductions each month to keep them fresh and interesting whilst building our understanding of your business.
In August we’re asking you to share a little of what you love about what you do. Here’s an article to help you if you need it.

Anita’s talk…
Interested in what may unfold for the UK Economically & Socio-Politically during Aug, Sept & Oct? The Astrology Chart of a country & the Astrology Chart of the Autumn Equinox may provide some answers in these uncertain times. The 2nd house indicates if there will be economic growth or ‘shrinkage’. The 8th House relates to Taxes & Debts. The 4th House represents the Opposition but also Agriculture/Food Production. The Sun the Prime Minister.
Our venue
We meet at Rayuela, a fine dining Spanish restaurant in the new Dickens Yard development in the heart of Ealing
There’s an underground car park accessible from Longfield Avenue (best joined from Gordon Rd. as there are turning restrictions with the Uxbridge Rd and the cameras take no prisoners!). There are other car parks on Springbridge Road
All bus routes along the A4020 are accessible. Ealing Broadway station is now fully accessible and serves National Rail, the Elizabeth Line and the Central and District Lines. It’s about a 5 minute walk.
Reasons for attending.
- Running a business can be lonely, it helps to have friends in business. We can become those friends.
- Every business needs to reach new customers, when we understand what you do and who you do it for, we can introduce you to potential customers.
- Support and learning are two benefits our members frequently praise our community for.
- Our meetings are relaxed but purposeful. No pressure to bring referrals and no attendance rules. We hope you’ll come because you enjoy it.
