How to join

Wealden Business Group welcomes new members.

If you would like to join us, please contact the WBG secretary via the Contact Us page.

You will then be invited, as our guest, to attend two breakfast meetings, which will provide you with the chance to meet our members and to see how our meetings operate. You will be asked to let us know a little about yourself and your business as our members make their one-minute presentations.

Applying for membership

If you wish to apply for membership download this form

WBG Application 2019-06-12 GDPR updateDownload

Upon receiving satisfactory references from the referees you provide on your application form, members will be asked to vote – at least 75% of the existing membership must vote positively in favour of a candidate before they can become a member.

Cost of membership

When you join, you will be asked to complete the

WBG Barclays SO Mandate Form

There is an annual membership fee of £150*, payable before the applicant attends their first meeting.

There is also a monthly meeting charge of £36 payable by standing order.

*WBG is currently offering a reduced rate for businesses younger than two years under the Springboard deal

Attendance record

As the continuing success of WBG depends partly upon members providing good quality business introductions, members are asked to attend as regularly as possible, and expected to be pro-active in providing leads for other members. However, as quality is more important than quantity, members are not expected to provide introductions or referrals every week.

Members are also asked to let Little Silver know by email  by 6.00pm on Tuesdays if they are unable to attend the next day’s breakfast.

Members are welcome to bring guests, but are asked to let the secretary know by the same time.
