The Watford LinkUp portal will be closing on 1 July 2026.

We would like to thank everyone who has used the platform over the years and contributed to the conversations, connections and opportunities it has helped create within our local business community.

As the way businesses connect and engage continues to evolve, we are focusing on supporting members through platforms where activity and engagement is strongest.

For Watford Chamber members, a dedicated LinkedIn group is being established to provide a space to continue networking, sharing updates and supporting fellow members. More details will be shared shortly.

For members of the Watford Business Pledge and Watford Borough Council networks, we encourage continued engagement through Watford Actually, where many local business and community conversations are already taking place.

If you currently use the Watford LinkUp portal, please remember to save any content, contacts or information you wish to retain before 1 July.

Thank you to everyone who has been part of the platform over the years.
