Valley at Work was established in 2007 to help connect businesses within the Rossendale area.
Valley at Work is a business association organised by small businesses for small businesses. Whether you run a business in Rossendale, or trade in Rossendale, or are planning a to start a business in Rossendale you are welcome to join us at our regular meetings.
Here you can find out who is who in Rossendale business, connect to local suppliers and find new contacts, ideas and help, all over a coffee and a biscuit. We have great guest speakers each month who give up their time to offer advice in their own areas of expertise to help the rest of us.
Valley at Work is inclusive (everyone is welcome), friendly and aims to be a point of help and communication with and between local businesses.
We meet between 6pm and 8.30pm, at a local venue, usually on the first Wednesday of every month.
With the exception of the Rossendale Business Awards ceremony in December and the AGM in July, all our meetings are free of charge to attend (unless there is food), and everyone is welcome.
Our meetings are deliberately friendly and informal – there’s plenty of time to circulate and get to know everyone. You are not obliged to pitch your business or provide referrals for other attendees.
If you would like to come along to any meeting, or you would like to receive regular email updates, please contact enquiries@valleyatwork.co.uk and let us know.
Next Meeting: Wednesday August 4th, 6.00pm – 8.00pm.
Location: The Boo, 679 Bacup Road, Waterfoot BB4 7HB
Speaker: No speaker
Topic: Valley at Work AGM/Social
We have delayed this meeting from July, as restrictions have put freedom day back by 4 weeks. The Valley at Work AGM is a very short meeting where our accounts for 2020/21 are approved and the committee/chair are elected/re-elected. To celebrate being able to meet in person again, the rest of the meeting will be a social event, a chance to meet up and simply talk to each other. There will be food available, and the bar will be open. If the weather is fine, The Boo has an excellent outdoor area where we can gather!
Everyone is always welcome at a Valley at Work meeting, whether it’s virtual or not! Please come along and join us if you can.
