BGH Match recently marked its 2nd Birthday on 21st March with a unique celebratory business networking event at Emirates, Old Trafford. It was a memorable occasion for all as we celebrated our Match networking success stories, connected businesses with our GM Business Growth Hub support and shared all the new opportunities available. 

With a full room and a fantastic atmosphere, attendees listened to Sadie Dales from Three UK share her Match networking success story while also enjoying delicious birthday cupcakes. In the last two years, our GM Business Growth Hub Match events has welcomed more than 2000 businesses to our successful business networking events in Greater Manchester. 

Our BGH Match events are organised in partnership with local stakeholders and partners, allow attendees to explore their local ecosystem and discover available business support. BGH Match offers a variety of opportunities, including general networking events, business roundtables, sector connectors, and supply chain development sessions, to facilitate collaboration among businesses. 

Professionals from all boroughs of Greater Manchester have been drawn to the BGH Match events. Notable among these events was the speed networking session in Trafford, where local business owners and entrepreneurs had the opportunity to connect with like-minded individuals. Additionally, a successful event in Tameside raised over £100 for Willow Wood Hospice through a charity raffle. In Leigh, those who attended the BGH Match event had the chance to capture a picture with the Challenge Cup won by the local Leigh Leopards rugby team.
