In The Loop Business Networking

Networking, without the awkwardness

Tired of early starts, awkward introductions and networking that feels like another item on the to-do list?

In the Loop brings people together at thoughtfully chosen venues for relaxed, lunchtime networking that works around busy working days (and school runs). There’s no membership commitment, a good mix of people at every event, and a light lunch included - creating space for genuine conversation and natural connections.

It’s networking designed to feel easy, enjoyable and worth your time - more like being part of a community than attending a traditional event.

Join us. Stay in the loop.

Been to In The Loop a fair few times now and it is one of the best I've been to. The group supportsw local businesses within the Gloucester area by asking them to host In The Loop. Tours of each venue are also offered to learn more about them, which you don't get with other networking groups.
The people and businesses I've met through The Loop have been very welcoming and helped me learn more about other industries.

I was super excited to attend January's "The Loop" business networking event, excellent location (The Padel Club), managed to meet some very interesting characters (you know who you are) big thanks Martin Thorne for organising looking forward to the next one which I will hopefully attend.

I had a great time at my first In The Loop newtorking event. It was the perfect mix of familiar faces (always nite to bump into people you know in a networking crowd) and some really lovely new connections. Already booked in for the next one - highly recommend if you're looking for something relaxed and friendly.

Sarah Gilbert of My Kind of Marketing

I had a wonderful time at The Loop. There were so many genuine conversations and I felt actually connected to the people I spoke to. The venuye (The Padel Club) was also interesting to explore from a sponsorship standpoint and a place to work remotely from. 10/10 would recommend.

The Loop is a relaxed and well structured networking group meeting at different monthly locations around Gloucester. The people and businesses I have met are full of energy, and I look forward to seeing them on a regular basis through the coming year.
