“As someone living and working in the Newcastle area, the NE1 Business Breakfasts are a fantastic opportunity to stay up to date with new events and projects going on. They really highlight the great work we do in the North East and showcase how people can get involved, either from a commercial point of view or as an individual. The breakfasts are also a great way to meet and network with new people. There’s always an informative and friendly environment, with opportunities to experience interesting venues.”

“We were delighted to be able to host NE1 guests for the Business Breakfast in January 2025. The opportunity to serve them was a wonderful way to introduce businesses in the NE1 community to our building and the work we enable through our building. Colleagues involved on the day were so happy to meet so many people, and there was an infectious kindness displayed by all.”
