About Sunrise
It’s all about the people
Sunrise is a dynamic networking cooperative – an independent group run by the members, for the members. We build strong relationships with people who share our values and our goals, and we measure the results.
What makes Sunrise so good?
More than a natter over breakfast
Networking at Sunrise is about getting to know the other business people in the room, building trust in each other and understanding what they need to grow.
- One seat per profession – no competing for referrals.
- Robust referrals passed between members who know and trust each other.
- Results measured for our mutual benefit – that’s how we share over £5 million in business every year.
- Committed members – we welcome people who will commit to Sunrise and genuinely gain business from joining.
A networking cooperative
Not-for-profit networking – investing in ourselves
We are not governed by any other organisation. We elect our committee, create our own rules and make sure we have fun doing it. Every penny from membership fees goes back into the group.

An elected committee and our own rules – independent, accountable and member-led.
Strong, lasting relationships
Open, friendly – even at 6.30 in the morning
Some of our members have been networking together for over 20 years – but that doesn’t make us cliquey. Success comes from building connections, not hoarding them. Just hear what our visitors say:
The moment you walk through the door people welcome you and start finding out who you are.
The members want to know about you, not just talk about themselves.
Some groups feel cliquey but this one is so open and friendly.
Great energy, passionate people, and really great coffee.
Come and see for yourself
Join us for breakfast at Edgbaston Golf Club, every Thursday at 6.30am.
