NatWest, in collaboration with the Pet Industry Federation (PIF), is inviting pet sector professionals to a free-to-attend event designed to inform, connect and strengthen pet businesses in the UK.

Taking place on Wednesday 13 August from 11:00 to 12:30, the event, simply titled Gathering, has been curated with ambitious pet business owners in mind. Whether you're a pet groomer, pet service provider, retailer, manufacturer or involved in any part of the supply chain, this event is for you.

Attendees can expect meaningful conversations, facilitated group discussions, and plenty of networking opportunities. It’s a chance to explore collaborations, share insights, and shape the support the industry needs, all fully funded by NatWest, and open to all, regardless of where you bank.

Debbie Lewis, Accelerator Community Manager at NatWest, said: “We are excited to partner with the Pet Industry Federation on the upcoming event which we hope will provide businesses from across the sector with ways to support their growth goals.”

Nigel Baker, CEO of the Pet Industry Federation, added: “This event is a fantastic opportunity for pet businesses to come together, share experiences, and shape the future of the industry. We’re really pleased to be working with Debbie Lewis from NatWest on this event, which will support innovation and growth across such a passionate and entrepreneurial sector.”
