Essex FSB runs a programme of events for members in Essex, Havering and Redbridge which bring together senior politicians as well as experts in different areas of interest to small businesses to keep you up to date with new rules and regulations.

Each event also includes the opportunity to network with fellow small business owners to get ideas, create business opportunities or just to share common burdens! The events are open to all FSB members and to non-members who pay a higher cost to attend.

Save your membership fee

Becoming an FSB Member can easily save you the membership fee - which starts at £120 per year for sole traders - in your first year if you attend our events on a regular basis.

Keep up to date!

In addition Essex FSB works in partnership with other organisations which are running events that may be of interest to our members. Where an event run by another organisation is listed on the Essex FSB website this does not imply any endorsement of that event or organisation and is simply for information allowing you to check out further details if interested.

Details of all events are listed at Essex Events  including details of how to book – usually on line.

Follow FSBEssex on Twitter for regular updates on events in Essex, Havering and Redbridge.

A Warm Welcome

The Essex FSB Events Team will give you a warm welcome at each event and provide you with a delegate pack which usually includes a guest list with full contact details of those booked to attend as well as a programme for the event and the all important Evaluation Form.

Completing and returning the form means your views are analysed and suggestions for further improvements to our events considered so they can be implemented where possible.

Do come along and say "Hello" at our Events Reception Desk.

Information Stands

The Essex FSB Events Team often has an information stand at events organised by other groups - that stand will have details of current Essex FSB campaigns, the services available to members and the forthcoming programme of Essex FSB events.
