Picture this: a vibrant community for North East entrepreneurs which is pulsating with energy, brimming with innovative ideas and fuelled by the drive to succeed. That's the essence of the Entrepreneurs' Forum.

By joining our community of over 300 North East business owners, you'll meet other founders just like you – passionate, determined and ready to share their experiences. Together, we energise, uplift and inspire one another on the testing yet rewarding journey of entrepreneurship.

Entrepreneurs’ Forum membership is for the entrepreneur, not just the business – because we know it's a life choice only other founders can truly understand.  Being a leader can be a lonely place so at the Forum, you’ll surround yourself with friends, collaborators and mentors who can offer guidance, support and inspiration at every stage of your journey.

Membership is open to the significant shareholders of North East businesses which turnover more than £250,000 and employ staff.   Check out our member directory to see who are members are.
