Real people. Useful conversations. Lasting connections.

Niche Networking — home of niche business communities

Where introductions become meaningful conversations.

Niche Networking creates sector-specific business communities across Surrey and Hampshire — without forced referrals or awkward pitches.

Founded by Steve Page

Built from first-hand experience of what makes networking worthwhile.

Steve Page founded Niche Networking after years of promoting his events company at local business networking meetings. His experience across different groups showed him the value of connecting businesses within the same industry niche.

In 2019, Steve launched Surrey Event Professionals exclusively for event, wedding and venue businesses. Members gained work opportunities, mutual support, shared resources and new collaborations. The community grew organically as members introduced others who could benefit.

Following that success, Niche Networking expanded into the wellbeing and charity sectors as well as the collaboration of Connect South with more sectors and county-based groups planned.

“The right room doesn’t just create opportunities. It creates a supportive community.”

Why 250?

Big enough for variety. Small enough to know one another.

Surrey has more than 4,000 businesses in each of the wellbeing, venue and events sectors. Each 250 network aims to limit membership to 250 businesses, with balanced sector representation so no single specialism dominates.

Monthly meetings

Two to three hours of well-hosted, productive connection. Bimonthly, each niche meets just their industry peers — the alternate bimonthly meeting, we all come together (events, wellbeing & charity) to connect, support and grow.

Relaxed format

Guided informal networking and genuine round-table discussions.

No forced referrals

No 60-second pitches — just a proven format that builds trust.

Membership benefits

Every Niche membership comes with no contract and the freedom to cancel at any time.
