A BUSINESS networking and training company which will celebrate its 30th anniversary next year has rebranded.
Durham Business Group brings together established networking organisation Durham Business Club, alongside Durham Training, which provides work-based learning for young apprentices, and the newly-formed Durham Office Services.
More than 50 business owners and trainers attended the launch of the organisation at the Emirates Durham International Cricket Ground in Chester-le-Street.
Bryan Hoare, chairman of Durham Business Group, said: “The formation of Durham Business Group allows each of our core service areas to have its own identity and to develop independently of each other. We are an established business with a strong profile, but perhaps Durham Business Club’s success masked our excellent achievements with Durham Training, from which we prepare dozens of apprentices for the workplace each year.”
Durham Business Club has almost 300 members, from small, home-based consultants to large organisations such as Teesside University and Durham County Cricket Club.
The club holds monthly events for businesses across the region to share knowledge and experience.
