Networking Events

We understand how important it is to converse with other small businesses, therefore we regularly host networking events to mix with other tenants and share ideas and maybe even frustrations. It helps to know you are not alone.

Buddle Business Network

John Buddle Work Village is a purpose built Business Centre which was created to support new and young businesses in the West End of Newcastle. Since 2004 businesses have called John Buddle Work Village their home, creating a substantial network of innovative like-minded entrepreneurs you can be a part of! This network of entrepreneurs remain part of the Buddle Community, so if you have a question you need an answer to or even just looking for some guidance there will be someone who can provide the answer. We are far more than a set of keys!

Surplus income generated from the Workspace is reinvested into the charity Reviving the Heart of the West End and their Explore Start and Grow programme which supports local people across Newcastle from all backgrounds and communities on their journey into jobs, self employment, training, starting a business, education, volunteering or social action groups.
