In February, our speaker networking breakfast event will convene a panel of experts to examine the new Procurement Act as it goes live. By then, the new government will have published details on how it will encourage more SMEs to tender and win an increased share of work from across the public sector.

Our 2025 events calendar kicks off with me interviewing Alex Partridge on Thursday January 9th, host of the award-winning podcast series, ADHD Chatter. If you are a business owner or professional who has ADHD or wants to know how to make your workplace more welcoming for neurodivergent employees, please do join us at this event.

Details on all our upcoming events and those of our members below.

Want to be part of a pro-active business community? Urbano's most popular membership is Company, which includes tenders, and is £7.60 per week. It is our members, event sponsors and especially our community supporter Stewart Title that sustain Urbano.
