The Ribbons Network
About Us
I’ve been networking for just over two years, and for the past 18 months I’ve been a member of The Ribbons Network. It has very quickly become my favourite network, and one I genuinely value. 42% of my confirmed work last year came directly from Ribbons. Having people around you who believe in you, challenge you kindly, and cheer you on makes such a difference. Ribbons has added an unmeasurable amount of value to my life, professionally and personally.
It’s a community I feel proud to be part of, and one I’m very grateful for.
Why Ribbons? We are passionate about helping your business grow. That starts with taking the time to understand your business, where you are now, where you want to go, and what success looks like for you.
Our events are intentional, focused, and designed to help you move forward.
We support you in building a clear networking strategy so you can network with purpose, communicate confidently, and get the right support around your business.
Through structured activity, accountability, and a coaching-led approach, connections turn into progress and relationships turn into results.
This creates a strong, trusted support network around you, built on genuine relationships, not surface-level connections.
We are your sustainable, growth-focused business network.
Why are we different? Because we are business owners too. We’re relatable, accessible, inclusive, and we understand the realities of running a business because we live them ourselves.
Our purpose is to create supportive, welcoming networking environments for UK business owners, safe spaces to share, learn, grow, and leave each meeting feeling lighter and clearer.
Our mission is to build a national community of business owners who support one another through accountability, collaboration, and shared growth.
Our vision is a business networking community people genuinely want to be part of, because it helps them grow their business and feel supported every step of the way.

We don’t just bring people together, we help you network with intention. Through guided activity and practical education, you’ll learn how to communicate clearly, build trust, and create meaningful connections that support real business growth.

Testimonials
“I had the pleasure of attending my first Networking Event with Jade and also doing the photography.
Truly I was blown away. Not only by the organisation of the event, which Jade made look effortless but also the engaging and fun aspect, while also keeping everything very professional, really stood out to me.
I could see people making real connections and having the chance to network in a great relaxed environment. Such a great job Jade. ”
