Level Up Network
Connect • Grow • Move — real-world networking that walks the talk.
We meet for coffee at the Waterfront Hotel (from around 9:30am), then take a seaside networking walk at 10:00am, finishing at an independent spot to boost local footfall. Expect friendly intros, shout-outs, and occasional member offers—all about supporting independents and growing together.
What we do
Share perks & offers: partner deals and highlights for the community.
Walk & network: simple, no-pressure conversations while we move.
Spotlight locals: we end at (and feature) independent venues
Who it’s for:
Independents, founders, and teams who want genuine connections, local impact, and a kinder way to network.
Join the Team
We’re a small team connecting ideas to action: Lewis Nickson (Poly Up) and Danny (Victoria Gyms / Level Up Network) bring the energy; midway in our mix sits Southport’s Journey magazine, edited by Lizzie Barnett; Chloe (Real Minded Media) turns moments into shareable content, and Jamie from the council helps join the dots so good ideas move forward.
What people say about us
“
No awkward pitches—just genuine chats while we walk. I came for a stroll and left with two collaborations and three new friends.
Local Freelancer
“
They literally brought a crowd to our café on a quiet morning. Friendly faces, real footfall, and follow-up support after.”
