BASE Connect Networking – May 2025

Networking is more than just coffee and business cards. It’s about connecting with fellow business owners who understand your challenges and celebrate your wins, big and small.

We understand that walking into a room full of strangers can be daunting. That’s why we’ve created a relaxed space for networking, making it easier to form meaningful connections.

Immersion Escape Rooms is our sponsor for May and offers unforgettable, story-driven experiences designed to bring teams together in the most exciting way possible. Located in Alton’s bustling Market Square, our immersive escape rooms challenge groups to think critically, communicate effectively, and collaborate under pressure – all while racing against the clock. Whether you’re looking to strengthen workplace relationships, boost morale, or simply enjoy a unique team outing, our expertly-crafted adventures are perfect for businesses of all sizes. It’s team-building like you’ve never experienced before.

If you haven’t visited BASE Bordon before, you’re in for a treat. This beautiful historic building offers plenty of parking, and we would be delighted to give you a tour.

We look forward to welcoming you to our friendly and relaxed networking meeting and making new connections.
