A NETWORKING initiative set-up to strengthen business relationships in Warrington has launched.

The Business Exchange, by Warrington & Co, promises to be the 'go to' networking organisation for businesses to connect, collaborate and grow.

At the launch night, at The Halliwell Jones Stadium last Wednesday, a presentation demonstrating the Business Exchange plans were presented by Steve Park, managing director of Warrington & Co, followed an introduction by Steven Broomhead, chairman.

The initiative sets out to be the place where businesses, individual entrepreneurs, established business networks and trade associations can collaborate with the aim of creating a better connected and stronger economy in Warrington.

Members will be to access a range of benefits, including networking and social events, masterclasses and monthly newsletters.

Steve Park, managing director of Warrington & Co, said: "The response to the Business Exchange launch was overwhelming and exceeded even our expectations.

"Indeed there was palpable excitement in the room for the Business Exchange. Many businesses signed up on the night. More are signing up every day.

"This is the start of something really exciting and special for Warrington Businesses.

"The Business Exchange by Warrington & Co. will provide a forum for all these businesses to interact with each other and become more cohesive."
