How big is the ENS network?
From small beginnings in 2020, the immediate ENS network has grown to over 110 businesses with thousands of connections in the wider network. Throughout 2023 and 2024, over 120 businesses attended a meeting at the Siege House in Colchester. We anticipate the network to keep growing as word spreads throughout the region’s business community. We are looking forward to continuing to grow the group at our new home, The King’s Arms.
