Space for REAL Conversations and Connections
About 12 Twenty
The name 12 Twenty is inspired by the history of Market Deeping.
In the year 1220 the town was granted its market charter, becoming a place of trade, movement, and commerce. With the River Welland running through it, Market Deeping became a key point for businesses to connect, exchange and grow.
12 Twenty Business carries that same spirit forward, creating a modern space for today’s businesses to come together.
Be part of the growth
As the community builds, 12 Twenty Business will evolve to include:
- Guest speakers
- Workshops
- Small group discussions
- Mastermind-style sessions
- Business social events
For now, the focus is simple:
Get in the room. Start the conversation. Be part of what grows.
