The Breakfast Club was established in May 2006 by Simon Turton of Baslow-based Opera Public Relations.

The objectives for the Breakfast Club are to provide a friendly, informal and open platform for networking; to encourage business between the members and to provide mutual support.

Attendees are drawn from a broad section of local businesses including accountants, solicitors, marketing consultants, photographers, holistic therapists, charities, contract cleaners, writers, IT consultants, retailers, graphic designers, estate agents, business coaches, entrepreneurs and communications consultants.

Networking is all about making and maintaining meaningful relationships with people that you would like to do business with. At the Breakfast Club you don't have to provide sales leads and there's definitely no pressure selling.

What is guaranteed, no matter what size business or organisation you represent, that everyone gets a warm welcome, decent coffee and delicious food.
