Our Affiliations

ITFC Business Network

The ITFC Business Network offers the Club’s partners and sponsors the opportunity to meet like-minded organisations from across the Suffolk business community.

At its core, the network connects organisations that are actively shaping the Suffolk business landscape. For us at KWMCC, as a venue that relies on visibility, reputation, and strong local relationships, being part of this community places us directly in front of decision‑makers who regularly book spaces for meetings, conferences, training sessions, and corporate events. Instead of waiting for enquiries to come in, the centre becomes part of the conversations where those decisions are made.

Suffolk New College

Suffolk New College has developed an Industry Partner scheme, which helps to strengthen the college’s engagement with industry and local employers. Partners in this scheme will use a whole company approach to engage in cross-college career activities. The Chair of the Industry Partners shall also sit on the Careers Strategy group to help increase the rich communication between the college and our industry partners.

SNC and KWMCC will work collaboratively to embed industry into the college and curriculum; this will help to raise learners’ aspirations and employability skills and for employers to promote employment and skills opportunities.

Suffolk Chamber of Commerce

Suffolk Chamber of Commerce brings together businesses and organisations across Suffolk, providing opportunities to connect, collaborate, share knowledge and build valuable relationships within the local business community. As a member, KWMCC is able to engage with fellow businesses, attend networking opportunities and make connections that support both our charity and the wider community we serve.

Our membership reflects our commitment to putting the community at the heart of all we do, while also strengthening our links with local businesses and organisations. Through Suffolk Chamber of Commerce, KWMCC looks forward to continuing to build relationships, share opportunities and support a thriving local business community.

Networking

The Centre of Networking

We run our own networking event here at KWMCC called The Centre of Networking, every other month on the second Tuesday of the month
10-11:30AM.

It is the perfect opportunity for local businesses, charities and individuals to come together to promote, network and make valuable connections in a welcoming, laid-back environment. These open networking events are sponsored by Bates Wells & Braithwaite Solicitors, one of our charity partners.

This networking event is free to book, but we ask for a small £2 cash donation on arrival to support a local charity, who we support with these events each year. Light refreshments are provided, so come have your morning coffee with us!

If you would like the chance to become a guest speaker, run an activity or have a stall at one of these events, you can do so for free!
