PROMOTION. COLLABORATION. REPRESENTATION.
Totnes is full of brilliant independent businesses. The Forum exists to make sure everyone knows it – and to make running one here a little easier.
Not another breakfast meeting. Not another directory you pay to be listed in. The Totnes Business Forum is a working group for local business owners who'd rather spend their time making things happen rather than just attending things.
We're here to raise the profile of Totnes as a place to shop, eat, stay and work – to connect businesses who should know each other – and to make sure independent traders have a real voice when decisions get made that affect the town.
If you've ever thought "someone should really do something about that", this is where that happens.
Backed by Totnes Town Council, run by and for local businesses.
WHAT WE DO
The Totnes Business Forum focuses on three core areas:
01
PROMOTION
We help raise the profile of Totnes businesses – both locally and beyond – by increasing visibility, sharing stories, and making it easier for customers to discover what’s here.
02
CollaboratiON
We bring businesses together, through collaborations, events or simple introductions. We help build real relationships that lead to real opportunities.
03
REPRESENTATION
Planning decisions. Town centre changes. Footfall initiatives. When conversations happen that affect your business, the Forum makes sure the independent business perspective is in the room.
