Shrivenham in person business networking 20th January 2026

Welcome to our Shrivenham Business Networking in person group.

If you do business in the Shrivenham, South Oxfordshire or Swindon areas we would love to meet you.

Our agenda

Our agenda is designed to help you to form and grow relationships with people who can help your business to thrive. Typically this includes…

• Informal networking
• Get to know you activities
• This month, rather than a speaker, we’ll have a mini business development workshop
• Testimonials and future events.

We have ditched the one minute pitches favoured by so many networking groups. Each month we have a different theme for our introductions to keep them fresh and interesting.

What’s your big ambition for 2026 and how can we help you to achieve it? This article may help your thinking.

All welcome.

Everyone is welcome. No professional restrictions, pressure to refer or attendance rules. We’re a welcoming bunch, and our meetings are typically 8-12 people so even if you are a novice networker they’re not too intimidating. If you are nervous, or have specific needs, and would like a helping hand please drop me a line with your phone number and we’ll work out how best to support you.

The cost of this meeting is £15 (£12 for members) which includes light refreshments. This is a tax deductible marketing expense.

Your host.

Jill Aburrow is a Human Resources Consultant. Her business is Heartfelt HR and it sums up Jill perfectly. She’s a great believer in kindness and compassion when it comes to business and especially when dealing with your employees. When they feel the love they will give of their best.

Our venue

The Barrington Arms is a family owned pub and hotel in the centre of Shrivenham. There is on street parking outside the pub and along the High St. The bus between Oxford and Swindon stops right outside. As the pub doesn’t open until noon please walk around the side and enter through the back door.

Reasons to attend

• Regular attendees at our Shrivenham group travel from Abingdon, Cirencester and Swindon to join local business owners for a morning working of business support and development. This gives you an opportunity to extend your reach over a wider area.
• Sometimes we get too close to our challenges to see the solution, this group is particularly good at generating ideas to help you find a way forward.
