The TBN Dorset Brunch on Thursday 27th November was another outstanding morning of business networking in Dorset, bringing together local entrepreneurs, small business owners, and professionals eager to learn, connect, and grow. The event once again proved why TBN remains one of the most valuable and welcoming networking communities in the region.

Our keynote speaker, Duncan McKechnie from ActionCOACH Dorset, delivered a powerful and motivating presentation titled “I Have a Dream.” Duncan encouraged attendees to reconnect with their long-term vision, set meaningful goals, and take intentional steps toward business growth. His blend of insight, humour, and real-world coaching experience left the room energised and ready to take action.

Following the main networking session, we were delighted to host a post-event seminar led by Pauline Vines from Evelyn Partners. Pauline provided a clear, practical breakdown of the recent Budget announcements, helping attendees understand the key changes and how to navigate them effectively. Her ability to cut through the noise and explain complex financial updates in a simple, actionable way was hugely appreciated by everyone in the room.

The atmosphere throughout the event was buzzing with collaboration and positivity. From new start-ups to established business leaders, it was fantastic to see so many people building genuine connections, sharing referrals, and supporting Dorset’s thriving local business community.

If you missed this month’s TBN Dorset business networking brunch, we’d love to welcome you to the next event. It’s the perfect place to expand your network, gain valuable insights, and connect with like-minded professionals across the region.
