Why become an MCE Supporter?
The MCE Growth Network is about more than exchanging business cards.
It provides an opportunity to become part of a trusted network of businesses that want to build genuine relationships, share opportunities and contribute positively to the growth of Medway City Estate and the wider Medway business community.
For MCE members, it creates access to a broader range of knowledge, services and professional connections.
For MCE Supporters, it creates a valuable route into one of Medway’s largest and most diverse business communities.
Carefully connected, not open entry
We want The MCE Growth Network to be valuable for everyone who attends.
For this reason, MCE Supporter applications are reviewed before membership is confirmed. We consider each business’s connection with the estate, the services or expertise it can offer and the overall balance of the network.
This is not about excluding good businesses. It is about creating a trusted and relevant community where meaningful relationships can develop.
