Sterling National Brunch
Business without borders. Relationships without limits.
An online networking brunch for UK-focused business owners living and working the nomadic way.
Your office could be a co-working space in Lisbon, a café in Bali, a villa in Spain or your laptop at the kitchen table while you’re between adventures.
But wherever you are in the world, business still happens.
The Sterling Nomad Networking Brunch group brings together professional business owners who have UK clients, UK connections or UK-based businesses, but have chosen to step outside the traditional 9-to-5 office environment and embrace a more flexible, location-independent lifestyle.
This isn’t networking for digital nomads looking for their next freelance gig.
It’s for serious business owners who want to build serious relationships — wherever in the world they happen to be.
Our National Brunch meets online every other Tuesday at 9:30am until 11:30am GMT and helps businesses build deeper relationships with like-minded people across the UK.
With members from a wide variety of backgrounds and a one seat policy, we ensure every meeting is full of energy and very productive and different to other online networking groups you’ve attended.
Your initial visit is £10+vat and you can find the next available date and how to book below.
Group Leader: Adam Jones
Thanks for finding out more about our Nomad Networking Group.
I’m Adam Jones and with Sterling, we wanted to create a group that brings together ambitious business owners across the world in a fresh, dynamic virtual networking format.
Meeting every other week, our sessions are carefully structured to help you build genuine relationships and valuable business connections without geographic limitations.
Instead of traditional elevator pitches, members engage in focused one-to-one conversations during each session, allowing for deeper, more meaningful discussions about their businesses.
With our one seat policy, we maintain a diverse mix of businesses without direct competition, ensuring conversations remain open and trust is built quickly. While our meetings are virtual, the connections we facilitate are very real, leading to lasting business relationships and collaborative opportunities.
Would you like to experience this fresh approach to online networking? Join us as a visitor at our next Nomad Networking session to meet our members and discover how virtual networking can work for your business
“I look forward to welcoming you to our great group!”
