Our meetings are a mix of online events (free to attend) and face to face networking (where a small charge is usually applied to cover costs.)
We are a welcoming, informal networking group for senior executives, business owners, entrepreneurs, non-executive directors, interim managers, consultants, coaches and self-employed professionals.
Network with XTEND members and guests in 2025 and Celebrate XTEND’s 25th Anniversary! 
Join us online or face to face, bring a guest, and help us to celebrate this year.
We have monthly meetings, and quarterly smaller focused groups (Special Interest Groups) where members and guests exchange information, expertise and opportunities.
