News Businesses invited to celebrate 11 years of support at Maidstone’s Business Terrace
Local entrepreneurs and business owners are invited to a free networking event marking the 11th anniversary of The Business Terrace, Maidstone’s dedicated collaborative workspace.
Taking place on Thursday 9 July at 5.30pm, the event is free to attend and offers an opportunity for the local business community to connect in a relaxed setting. Pizza and refreshments will be provided.
Over the past 11 years, The Business Terrace has supported more than 1,200 local businesses, offering a range of services including one‑to‑one support, mentoring and access to fully furnished office space. The anniversary celebration will bring together start‑ups, established companies and aspiring entrepreneurs to share experiences, celebrate local enterprise and build new connections.
The Business Terrace is owned and managed by Maidstone Borough Council and forms a key part of the council’s work to support enterprise and economic growth in the borough. By providing accessible workspace and tailored business support, it helps businesses to start, grow and remain in Maidstone.
The event provides an informal environment for businesses to expand their networks, discover support opportunities and engage with others contributing to Maidstone’s growing economy. It also highlights the ongoing role of The Business Terrace in supporting enterprise, innovation and town centre activity.
Councillor Stephen Thompson, Maidstone Borough Council Cabinet Member for Healthier Stronger Communities, said:
“For more than a decade, The Business Terrace has helped hundreds of local businesses take their first steps, grow with confidence and make valuable connections. Reaching its 11th anniversary is a milestone worth celebrating, and it is a chance to recognise the ambition, creativity and resilience of Maidstone’s business community. Whether you are already established or just beginning your business journey, we would be delighted to welcome you to this event, help you grow your network and show you the support available locally.”
Tickets for this event are free and are selling out quickly. Reserve your spot online.
This activity supports the council’s corporate priority of Fairer Economy For People And Planet, by promoting a sustainable and inclusive local economy, supporting entrepreneurship and strengthening Maidstone’s business community.
