Off Line Benefits of GEN Membership

Throughout the year GEN will be running a programme of events which will include specific tailored events, sponsoring of various county events and a number of generic events which we hope will appeal to a wide range of our members. These events will all provide an excellent opportunity for you to network with other GEN members and local industry representatives.
As well as GEN events, we also advertise events organised by Business Link, GEN members and a number of other local networking groups and organisations.

As a member of GEN you will also receive regular newsletters to keep you informed of our developments as a network (and those of our members).

Occasionally we will also send you a newsflash to ensure that you are kept up to date on any forthcoming events and breaking news stories occurring between the regular newsletters.

Offline, we hope that you will use GEN as a tool to meet representatives from other Gloucestershire businesses and identify opportunities for collaboration. We also hope that you will benefit from a number of our events in terms of personal and professional development.
