If you thought Central Lancashire Business Club was a recent addition to the local business community then you would be wrong.
It was originally formed in 1984 as The Chorley and South Ribble Business Club. The Club was rebranded in 2007 to help us open our membership up to more businesses throughout the Lancashire area.

The Club is funded by subscriptions and run by members, for members. This enables it to operate independently although strong links with Local Enterprise Agencies, Business Link, the Small Business Service and Local Colleges are actively maintained.

Membership is open to, small to medium enterprises, micro businesses, people starting out in business and larger organisations, in fact all types and sizes of business based in and around Central Lancashire.

The Club recognises that in some circumstance it can be a lonely existence being self-employed, especially if you work from home, so a number of social events are organised during the year. Included in our annual programme are a Wine Tasting, Christmas Dinner and a Ten Pin Bowling Event, all of which enhance the friendly atmosphere of the Club.

Our monthly meetings generally have a guest speaker, followed by an opportunity for questions and sometimes a ’workshop‘ on the topic. Subjects are wide and varied and have included finance, marketing, purchasing and first aid.

Members are also encouraged to present their own business at our members nights, and every new member is invited to introduce their business at their first meeting.

We try to provide a forum for members to network, discuss matters affecting their business and benefit from the knowledge of a wide variety of speakers.
We look forward to seeing you.
