Chichester Festival of Business

Business awards are flawed by their design; they celebrate the few and not the many. We want to change that with an event where everyone can be celebrated and feel supported.

When Debbie and Emily created the Last Friday Club in 2016, they wanted to create a business networking environment for the solo entrepreneur who was just starting on their journey or those that were many years in that had wisdom to share or still something to learn. All in the aim of feeling supported, whatever stage they are at.

From our earlier days meeting in coffee shops and bars, we've grown into a vibrant community of 100s, and regularly welcome more than 50 business owners who gather monthly to support, inspire, and collaborate with one another.
