About Us

RBG is a dedicated professional networking group focused on fostering genuine connections and driving mutual business growth in the local community. We believe that strong local businesses are the foundation of a thriving community. Our network was established to ensure that every professional has the tools, connections, and support needed to not just survive, but to truly prosper. We actively work to create opportunities for each other, turning introductions into reliable, long-term business relationships.

Our Vision

The RBG is an online networking group and business directory for small and medium-sized businesses. The core values of this group are to connect, grow and educate our members. Our group meets bi-weekly where members get the chance to showcase their business and guest speakers present on topics ranging from scaling, marketing and education. If you are interested in attending a meeting as our guest, please register your interest here.

What do we stand for

At RBG, we’re a group of like-minded people who want to develop our businesses and our abilities. Many of us are based in Co. Roscommon, but some come from further afield.

Our members cover a wide range of sectors but we all have one thing in common: a unique set of skills and experiences to share, no matter what stage we’re at on our business journey. The group gives members the opportunity to:

Make valuable business connections.
Learn more about growing our businesses.
Help each other to solve problems.
Build up supportive friendships.

What we do

We meet online between 8.30 am and 9.30 am every second Friday. We also aim to meet in person every three months. Meetings include: 

  • Business Pitches: These give us the chance to briefly introduce our businesses and describe what’s new. At each meeting, one member is given the floor to discuss their business in more detail. Visitors often join us, so we get to hear from and share with new contacts regularly.
  • Education Slots: These short seminars help us to upskill and explore new opportunities. For example, we may learn about an aspect of marketing, or consider the benefits of emerging technologies.
  • Thank Yous and Referrals: This is an opportunity to acknowledge how other group members have helped us over the past few weeks.

Members also arrange fortnightly one-to-one calls. These help us get to know each other better and find out how we can support each other (perhaps by making a referral or recommending a resource).
