Hi there!

I’m Lizzie, and I’m so glad you’re here.

My journey to creating Stratford-upon-Avon Business Coffee Morning (snappy I know!) started in February 2024 when I was looking for a local networking group to join and I couldn’t find one that ticked all the boxes.

Since then our group has grown considerably and we are building the vibrant business community in Stratford-upon-Avon that I’d been dreaming of!

We have a diverse range of businesses who attend including spiritual healers, bookkeepers, mortgage brokers, a magician, aesthetic practitioners, photographers, content creators, graphic designers, solicitors and so many more!

I hope you can join us too!

Lizzie
