FLN was established in 2017 by a handful of local business owners who wanted to create a professional, supportive and engaging networking environment where local businesses could build strong professional connections in a relaxed and friendly lunch time setting.

 

Our collective objective is to promote, support and grow each other’s businesses through effective collaboration, meangingful referrals, and increasing our core membership.

 

Our core values are centred around mutual trust and respect.  We embrace a structured but informal approach to our meetings which are always lively and full of good humour.

 

We meet on alternate Fridays at The Stable Games Room.
