If you run a business in Barnstaple or anywhere across North Devon and you’d like to build proper local connections, come and join us.

Our networking breakfast is relaxed, welcoming and genuinely supportive. No memberships, no pressure, just a good mix of local businesses, a solid breakfast and time to have real conversations that lead to real opportunities.

We meet face to face once a month in Barnstaple, bringing together a wide range of industries from across the area. It’s a great way to raise your profile, share what you do and discover trusted local services.

Our next North Devon Networking Group Breakfast is at The Barnstaple Hotel on Friday 6 March, from 07:15 to 08:45.

A full room and a genuinely worthwhile start to the day.

Last Friday’s North Devon Networking Group breakfast began with plenty of conversation, followed by breakfast, introductions, and a powerful talk from Nigel Hellewell MBCS to close the morning.

One of the things people value most about these meet ups is the mix in the room, familiar faces and new ones, and the chance to have conversations that don’t usually happen in the middle of a busy week.

If you’ve never been before:
You don’t have to come every month.
You don’t have to know anyone beforehand.
You book breakfast, come along, and see how it goes.

Next meeting: Friday 6th March, 07.15–08.45am, Barnstaple

Alan Mead will be hosting an interactive session inspired by Every Brilliant Thing - something a little different, thoughtful and feel-good.

Booking link is in the comments. You can use it to sign up for March, or join the mailing list to hear about future meetings if you can’t make this one.

December’s North Devon Networking Group meeting was our final one of 2025, where we finished the year with a fun early-morning quiz hosted by Karen Thomas, alongside a thank you for the huge amount of time and commitment she’s given to running NDNG over the past 10 years.

It was a relaxed, enjoyable morning with plenty of conversation, laughter, and a bit of healthy competition around the tables. A great way to end the year and reflect what NDNG is all about - bringing local business owners and professionals together in a friendly, informal setting.

Thanks to everyone who has attended throughout 2025. New members are always welcome, there’s no commitment to attend regularly, so you can simply come along and see what it’s all about.

Our next meeting takes place on Friday 9th January. Please see the link in the comments to register your interest and sign up.
