First Friday Petersfield
Where business is a pleasure
First Friday Petersfield is a business networking meeting with no formal pitches or membership, where we rely on building relationships over lunch in an informal relaxed atmosphere.
First Friday has been holding regular meetings for over 20 years (since 2000), missing few months over the years (we’ll gloss-over the Covid interruption!)
Please join us for our next meeting, where you can usually expect to find a core of maybe 60% ‘regular’ alongside 40% ‘new’ or ‘returning’ attendees. Overall, expect a welcoming environment where you can meet people from across the business spectrum; from sole traders to large companies, from designers to bankers.
