A new business networking opportunity has launched in Henley-on-Thames.

Henley Business Buzz staged its first event at Henley Rugby Club, drawing more than thirty firms and local influencers.

The group forms part of the wider Business Buzz network, offering relaxed, membership-free, pay-as-you-go networking aimed at building professional links in an informal setting.

Orinta Gaucyte, running Henley Business Buzz, said it was fantastic to welcome so many local companies along for the first Henley Buzz.

Building a supportive community where people feel comfortable, accepted, and able to develop genuine connections has something truly special about it.

Sincere thanks go to everyone who attended and helped make the launch such a success.

The opening ceremony featured Business Buzz co-founders Katrina Sargent and Simon George, who officially started the proceedings.

The Henley events have support from sponsors Logic Financial Services and Logic Mortgages.

Lee Humphrey, from Logic Financial Services, said it was wonderful to see an initiative like Business Buzz arrive in Henley.

Creating opportunities for local businesses to connect in an unpretentious, open way brings significant benefits to the community, and the company is proud to back an endeavour that strengthens bonds within the local business world.

Henley Business Buzz gathers on the fourth Thursday of each month, with the next session scheduled for Thursday, April 23.

All enterprises, business owners, and professionals across the area are welcome to attend.
