Celebrate Swindon Day with a spot of FSB networking

Business owners are being invited to celebrate Swindon Day with a spot of networking, courtesy of the Federation of Small Businesses (FSB) and office space provider Fig Flex.

Swindon Day was launched by the FSB in 2022 as a day to celebrate small businesses in the town.

The organisation ran a social media campaign around Wiltshire Day on June 5, 2021 – but members in Swindon questioned why Swindon Day wasn’t being marked.

A bit of digging by the FSB revealed there wasn’t a Swindon Day – so the body has now started one, with January 22 being adopted as the date.

January 22 marks the day in 1900 when Queen Victoria signed a charter – the last such of her reign – to bring Old Town and the new town established around the railway from 59 years earlier together as one.

The hill that links the two still bears her name.

The networking event will be held at FigFlex Offices, 3 New Bridge Cl, Swindon SN1 1HN from 8am to 9.30am on Monday, January 22.
