Pop Connect Networking

Pop Connect is a fast-growing business networking community built on kindness, inclusivity and genuine human connection. Launched in 2015, it has grown from a single group in Essex to more than 35 groups across Essex, Hertfordshire and North and East London, earning a strong reputation for warm, structured and effective networking.

Our franchise network is expanding steadily, with franchisees already operating in parts of Hertfordshire, North and North West London, Essex, Norfolk, Luton, South Bucks, Swindon and Bath. Each franchisee brings Pop Connect’s friendly, member-focused approach to their local business community.

What makes Pop Connect different?

• A community that champions collaboration over competition

Our meetings bring people together to build meaningful relationships, share expertise and support each other’s growth. Members consistently praise Pop Connect for its welcoming atmosphere, its clear format, and its emphasis on mutual support rather than pressure.
