We’re much more than just a networking organisation
Our monthly networking events have grown increasingly successful, but we provide much more. We give members a voice with local government and others. And we identify and alert members to available business grants.
We are working on an enhanced Member Directory and expanding the range of Business Resources available to members.
We are part of the Mid-Sussex Crime Partnership to help safeguard members’ premises, and have strong links with local schools and colleges.
Together with the East Grinstead Sports Council we are advocates for local fitness and wellbeing, and are keen to promote local arts, and the community radio stations.
We collaborate closely with East Grinstead Town Council, Mid Sussex District Council and West Sussex County Council on a vision for the town.
East Grinstead and surrounding area is a great place to live, work – and be. We must ensure the town is a place to build a thriving business.
As the business community, together with key stakeholders, we can all contribute and share in the business vision for East Grinstead.
Together, we can create a business community based around the concept of a virtuous circle – supporting each other and sourcing from each other.
What Our Members Say
We are long standing members of the EGBA, which has benefited our business in learning what is happening in the town, networking, visiting other member’s premises and regularly meeting with local councillors.
The Caravan and Motorhome Club is East Grinstead’s largest private sector employer so the attractiveness of the town and the viability of its businesses are very important for our staff members and their families – whether they live here or simply use local services and businesses during their working week. It makes perfect sense to be part of that community through the EGBA and to have a stronger voice where it matters.
EGBA provides businesses with the opportunity to network informally and also is a forum for learning more about the town both from other members and from town and district councillors
“It’s been a funny year, with networking and contacts taking new channels – and challenges of ‘business as usual but business at home’ – words like ‘zoom’ and ‘mental well being’ have come into play every day. People need people, I am one of those. My business needs people too, most definitely…and EGBA has brought that to me every week of covid19, throughout lockdown and tiers. It’s been great to talk and meet new businesses – relax a little and know we are all in this together, and we’ll get through this together. In better times, it’s good to share your success and celebrate with like-minded people “
