Business Forum
How does the Business Forum work?
The Maldon District Business Forum is organised and administered by the Economic Development Team at Maldon District Council. The Business Club and has been running for over 10 years.
The aim of the Forum is to provide an effective communication link and promote the concept of local sourcing, sharing of best practice and the development of a successful business community. This is achieved by the contacts made at our Breakfast Club, events and through the information available via the website.
How much does it cost?
There is no charge for businesses based in the Maldon District to join the Forum. For Businesses who are registered outside the District, there is a one-off charge of £50; cheques should be made payable to Maldon District Council.
What are the benefits?
With a membership of more than 360 local businesses in our business club and support agencies, the Forum continues to grow and develop. Typically we see around 30 businesses at each of our events and the website is available to all businesses who have registered. The Business Directory is a great way to promote your business.
