Cotswold Networking Ltd Reviews

Paris Cains 2025.11.13

     

I have the pleasure of being part of the Cotswolds Networking groups, and I can honestly say they’re some of the best networking rooms I’ve been in. I’m a member of the Bristol group, but I’ve also visited the Bath group and I’m already booked onto one of the Malmesbury events - each one has had the same warm, welcoming atmosphere that Angela is brilliant at creating. I’ve delivered two speaking slots so far, and both times Angela made the process effortless and supportive. The groups are genuinely engaged, collaborative, and full of people who actually want to help each other, which is rare to find. I’ve also received some fantastic referrals directly from the room, which shows just how invested the members are in connecting and championing each other. If you’re looking for a networking community that’s friendly, high-value, and truly effective, I can’t recommend the Cotswolds Networking groups enough.

I thoroughly enjoy being part of Cotswold Networking. It’s a genuinely welcoming and supportive community, filled with a lovely bunch of people who are not only friendly but also incredibly encouraging. Every event feels like a great opportunity to connect, share ideas, and grow professionally in a relaxed and positive environment. The atmosphere is always warm and inclusive, making it easy to build meaningful relationships with other local business owners. I find myself looking forward to each gathering—not just for the networking, but for the sense of camaraderie and inspiration that comes with it. Whether you're just starting out or have been in business for years, Cotswold Networking offers a fantastic space to learn, collaborate, and feel part of something special.

Excellent company. I never attend with a specific end in mind, but always leave glad I came - with a fresh idea, new angle on things or unexpected person to chat with.

I've sampled a number of Business Networking groups, some okay, most have been very structured and not really created a good networking environment. Cotswold Networking on the other hand has a relaxed approach to networking that makes the experience enjoyable and productive. The venues themselves are a pleasure to visit and the format encourages really useful relationship building.

As a professional magician for over 15 years running my own business I have attended and tried many different networking groups over the years. Cotswold Networking is by far the best and I’m very proud to be a member of the Cheltenham branch. Contacts have become connections that have become friends, leading to more business and a feeling of support and community that underpins their ethos. Angela is hard working warm, passionate about local business and will absolutely shout from the rooftops for her members! Highly recommend becoming a member of one of their many locations.

I recently attended my first Cotswold Networking event after a few recommendations from local members. Having been to numerous networking events in London and Gloucestershire, I’ve often found them a bit awkward, overly salesy and forced, so I wasn’t quite sure what to expect. But from the moment I arrived, the relaxed pre-drinks atmosphere made it clear this was something different. The group was a genuinely diverse mix of business owners and professionals who were super welcoming and refreshingly down-to-earth. No corporate mumble or pitchy conversations. The format, including a guest speaker, works really well, and it was great to see such a diverse bunch of businesses in the room. What really stood out was that people weren’t just there to network with potential customers, they were there to connect, share, and support each other where it made sense. Angela brings a fantastic energy and steers the whole thing with warmth and humour, which really makes it work. Looking forward to the next one!

From the very first meeting, I felt welcomed, supported, and seen—not just as a business owner, but as a person with hopes and ideas. The kindness, generosity and genuine interest shown by the members have made all the difference. This isn’t just a place to exchange business cards; it’s a space to share, and connect. Thank you Angela!

Cotswold Networking strikes the perfect balance between professionalism and friendliness. Gatherings are always both fun and fruitful, with a wide variety of businesses represented by members. When I returned to the UK, after spending many years working overseas, I faced the task of developing a new client base and finding trusted service providers. Attending Cotswold Networking has been the best thing I've done to achieve this.

I thoroughly enjoy my CN evenings. A world away from staid, stuffy meetings where you are pushed to refer and have to stand up and speak. It feels much more like an evening out with friends. Angela is such a welcoming, friendly host and I have met some excellent contacts. Venues are stunning and the wine list is always good! Highly recommend.

Angela has created by far the best networking community I've attended, and I've been a member of quite a few over the years. The evening format is absolutely perfect for me - I'm far too busy during the day to attend other meet-ups, so this works brilliantly. What really sets Cotswold Networking apart is the genuine friendliness of the members and the relaxed atmosphere. There's zero pressure to refer business or give presentations unless you actually want to - refreshing! The format works beautifully: drinks and networking, followed by an optional 15-minute member presentation, then structured round table chats where everyone shares what they do before swapping tables every 20 minutes. Plenty of time for natural networking at the end too. With 7 locations to choose from, it's a fantastic opportunity to expand your network across different regions. Angela also arranges occasional morning business workshops when members want to offer something special, which adds real value. I'd highly recommend Cotswold Networking to any business owners or entrepreneurs who are serious about growing their network and business in a genuinely supportive environment.

Cotswold Networking is fabulous!! Each month we meet face to face and receive a talk from an expert followed by plenty of time to get to know each other and make valuable connections. The Bristol group is new and I’ve only been to 2 events but already I have made some wonderful connections to help me and my business grow. Thank you CN 🤩
