The latest TBN Hampshire brunch event took place on Thursday 12th February at the beautiful Burley Manor, bringing together 38 local business owners, entrepreneurs, and professionals for a vibrant morning of connection and collaboration.

Set in the heart of the New Forest, Burley Manor once again provided a stunning and welcoming backdrop for our Hampshire business networking community. The relaxed atmosphere created the perfect space for open conversation, new introductions, and strengthening existing relationships.

Insightful Presentation from Gemma Warren – Know, Like & Trust in 2026

A highlight of the morning was an engaging and thought-provoking presentation from Gemma Warren of Beautiful Client Comms.

Gemma’s talk, “Know, Like and Trust – What It Means for Your Business in 2026,” explored how the foundations of strong business relationships are evolving and what that means for brands and service providers moving forward. She shared practical insights on:

• Building authentic visibility

• Strengthening client relationships through communication

• Positioning your business with clarity and confidence

• Creating meaningful connections that go beyond transactions

Her session sparked plenty of discussion around the tables and gave attendees valuable takeaways to implement in their own businesses as we look ahead to 2026 and beyond.

Networking, Table Swaps & Great Food

As always, TBN’s signature table swaps ensured that everyone had the opportunity to connect with new contacts rather than staying within familiar circles. With 38 attendees in the room, there was a real buzz of energy as conversations flowed and ideas were exchanged.

Guests enjoyed excellent hospitality and delicious brunch dishes from Burley Manor, helping to create a warm, sociable atmosphere throughout the morning. The combination of structured networking and relaxed dining continues to make TBN Hampshire events both productive and enjoyable.

A Growing & Supportive Business Community in Hampshire

It was fantastic to see a mix of long-standing members and first-time visitors in attendance. Events like this demonstrate the power of face-to-face networking in Hampshire — creating space for genuine relationships, collaboration opportunities, and peer support.

The energy in the room reflected exactly what TBN stands for: connection, community, and meaningful business growth.
