Penzance Business Network - PZBN - is new, youthful and dynamic. It is forward-looking and aims to bring tangible benefits to all sectors of the business community in Penwith but with special emphasis on those operating within Penzance and its environs — the key word is ‘Network’. Here’s a professionally-minded group that can significantly help companies to network with like-minded business people, creating new contacts, suppliers and of course, customers — in short, enable its members to run their businesses more effectively.

Inevitably, there will be comparisons with Chambers of Trade or Commerce. But, where the Network varies is that it will involve all people working for themselves; from the self-employed one-man business right through to larger companies with many employees and everyone in between. The aim is to attract those who would never consider joining the traditional groups. By regularly interacting with all its members, the Network can truly represent the wider business community of the area.

PZBN will not make any knowingly false claims, or use deliberate spin. It will present what it believes to be the truth, and where it makes mistakes, it will seek constructive dialogue to correct and properly represent the majority opinion. By actively campaigning for intelligent decision-making and thoughtful investment from Cornwall Council, coupled with a commonsense approach to what is really needed, the Network seeks to take Penzance and the surrounding area forward, creating an enhanced environment for those who live and work here, a more attractive tourist destination, improvement in 12 month trading and better, well-paid jobs.

This ancient Borough is at a crossroads and in some state of decline. It deserves to have a great future, but very often those making important decisions which affect us all, do so with little commercial acumen; sometimes, they simply fail to see the area’s true potential. The Network has been established to represent business people in the area and we very much hope you will join us.
