Woodley Business Club
Connecting business owners in and around Woodley
Woodley Business Club is a welcoming, down-to-earth community where local business owners and sole traders come together to build real relationships, share what they know, and support each other to grow.
Free to attend and run entirely by volunteer business owners since 2011, we bring people together – not to chase referrals, but to create a genuine, ongoing sense of connection for people who are often building their business alone.

Pleasing the heart online works on more than just dating sites!
Copywriter Peter Anderson is this month’s speaker and his talk is intriguingly entitled “Pleasing the heart online works on more than just dating sites!”. As Peter says “Word of mouth is the best social proof that a company can deliver on its problem solving skills”.

What makes Woodley Business Club different?
If you’ve tried other networking groups and felt the pressure to pitch, sell, or work the room for referrals, this isn’t that.
We meet on the second Tuesday of every month. Sometimes it’s over coffee in Woodley (8–9.30am), sometimes online via Zoom. You’ll get a 1-minute intro to say who you are and what you do. Then you’ll hear from a speaker, join a facilitated discussion, or simply have real conversations with other local business owners. Generally, then in-person meetups are casual coffee mornings, and the online session have a guest speaker with questions and answers.
Whether you’re just starting out or you’ve been trading for 20 years, whether you run solo or have a small team, there’s a place for you. We’ve been doing this since 2011. We started with 10 people in a Costa coffee shop, and we’re still going strong because people keep coming back.
What you won’t find here…
Hard-selling, membership fees, corporate jargon, or anyone trying to turn you into a lead.
What you will find
People who understand what it’s like to run a business, genuine support, shared experience, and a community that actually wants to see you succeed.
