Southbury Business Engagement Programme: Upcoming Events

Through the Shaping Southbury programme, we’re working with partners to strengthen the local economy, support entrepreneurs and create opportunities for businesses to connect and grow.

We are working with Ponders End Community Development Trust to deliver two upcoming events aimed at supporting and promoting local businesses in Southbury. Held at The Qube on Ponders End High Street, both events are free to attend.

Skills Exchange & Networking:

Thursday 26 February, 6–8pm

Designed for adults aged 18+, the event is open to anyone interested in starting, growing, or supporting a local business. The session offers a relaxed and welcoming environment to connect with other local businesses, share ideas, and build new relationships.

The programme includes guest speakers Malcolm Sleath from 12boxes.com and Jo Sealy, Business Advisor from Enterprise Enfield, who will discuss topics including starting up a business and marketing. Attendees will also have the opportunity to exchange skills, share experiences, and network with fellow business owners.

Celebrating Local Businesses:

Saturday 28 February, 12–4pm

Aimed at adults aged 18+ and open to everyone, the event offers an opportunity to celebrate and support local enterprise. The daytime programme features a business fair where a range of local businesses will showcase their work, share what they do, and engage with residents and fellow business owners.

Visitors can explore the diversity of businesses in the area, make new connections, and learn more about the local business community.
