The City of Newport Business Club, established for 15 years, aims to bring together like-minded business people from Newport and the surrounding area to create a forum for discovery, discussion and debate and also some networking along the way. The club presents four speaker-led evenings per season. For the first time in 2011 we staged two lunch time get-togethers. The success of these business lunches, the first on social media the second on e-crime, was such that we're doing the same again in the 2011/12. The first of this season's lunches, held in October, was on the new Bribery Act and its implications for business. The club strives to generate an environment in which members and guests can meet like-minded business people creating valuable contacts. The club is a catalyst to the creation of excellent commercial opportunities for those attending one of our hugely popular evenings, or lunches. The club fosters a vibrant atmosphere placing people in the best frame of mind in which to forge key business relationships which can lead to the landing of valuable new orders.
