The focuses of establishing new social and business networks for members and a desire to give back to the Bristol community through volunteering provides a vibrant BJC calendar. Each and every member of the BJC is warmly welcomed to each meeting or social event and is given many opportunities to be part of smaller teams leading projects on behalf of the wider membership. We base our emphasis on enabling members to develop their potential in a friendly and supportive environment, whilst meeting other professionals from business communities in and around Bristol.
