North Notts Win Growth Community Group of the Year 2026!

The Growth Community group of the year North Notts

Congratulations to the North Notts group who were crowned The Growth Community Group of the Year 2026 at the Annual Awards in January.

“I’ve been really impressed with the way the North Notts group have been #WorkingTogether during 2025. While the business networking group is an established and successful one, its growth had been slower than others across our community,” says Growth Community Founder, Nicky Thomas.

“Despite being a small networking group, they have always punched way above their weight in terms of the support they offer each other and the business opportunities they create.”

“But, over the past 12 months they made the decision to go ‘up a gear’ and put greater effort into quality organic growth of the team and examining how they could improve the experience for their guests. The results have seen new members and higher guest numbers. A proper whole team effort!”

“Sitting in on one of the North Notts networking meetings is really inspirational. They always have so much to share about how they are collaborating and supporting each other’s growth and success. If you’ve not visited this group as a guest I strongly recommend that you do!”
