Included in your FBA membership. This event is open to Family Business Members and Advisor Members.

Unwind after a busy day at After 5 Connect. Come along and have a chat with other family businesses and advisors from across the FBA community.

Join us at The Juke Bar and catch up with people who understand the ups and downs of working in, and with, family businesses. There’s no formal agenda, just a welcoming, easy-going space to chat, share experiences, and exchange ideas.

These evenings are all about meeting new people, learning from each other and great company. You might pick up new ideas, meet a new customer or collaborator from the family business sector, or find common ground to help you in your business.

Whether you’ve been part of FBA for years or you’re just starting to get involved, After 5 Connect is a great way to expand your network and end the day with good company and great conversation. We’d love to see you there.

FBA will provide canapes, and drinks will be available for purchase from the bar on the night. 

Why Come Along? 

  • Enjoy some drinks and nibbles at a local pub or bar.
  • Meet other family businesses and advisors in your area.
  • Share stories, challenges and ideas.
  • Learn from people who’ve been there too.
  • Find potential customers or collaborators in the family business sector.
  • Build genuine connections in a welcoming community.

Spots are limited, so make sure to register early to secure your place!
