Although we cover the whole of Northamptonshire and Buckinghamshire, we focus upon the commercial hubs of Northampton and Milton Keynes. These two cities are growing business communities, each with their own culture and business philosophy. However, as with many regions the business communities are close nit and difficult to gain access to. Our group hopes to provide an introduction to these areas and the opportunity to develop relationships with professionals in both regions. We believe that now, more than ever, is a time to bolster links with neighbouring businesses and support each other through the economic down turn.
It is partly for this reason that this year we have decided to begin an expansion into Bedfordshire - and more specifically Bedford. Furthermore, there is currently no junior lawyer group or young professionals group in Bedford. It is therefore a natural progression, making both commercial and practical sense to expand into that region.
