‘Know Your Neighbour’ Celebrates Success of Companies on Manor Royal
The Manor Royal Business Improvement District (BID) proudly celebrated the continued success of companies on the Business District at its flagship event, Know Your Neighbour, held on 3 June 2025 at The Hawth, Crawley.
Bringing together a wide variety of businesses from across the Manor Royal Business District, the event once again proved a platform for networking and collaboration, as well as showcasing the remarkable diversity of businesses that call Manor Royal home.
Businesses spanning a wide range of sectors, from communications to logistics, aviation to manufacturing, engineering to construction and more, came together to connect with each other, share insights, and to reacquaint themselves with their neighbours.
The 'Know Your Neighbour' event is a key part of the BID’s wider mission to build a connected and thriving business community, making Manor Royal the UK’s most dynamic, innovative and collaborative Business Districts
100 Manor Royal companies exhibited inside and outside The Hawth, the event also included breakout sessions, plus prizes for ‘Business Bingo’ and ‘Best Stand’.
Steve Sawyer, Executive Director of Manor Royal BID, said:
“Know Your Neighbour continues to demonstrate the strength, diversity and community spirit that epitomises what being part of the Manor Royal Business District is all about. It was fantastic to see so many businesses come together to showcase their products, services and expertise, while creating valuable new connections and opportunities. Events like this highlight what makes Manor Royal such a unique place to do business.”
The event included an update for delegates on the significant progress that has been made against the Manor Royal Masterplan, launched in 2010, that set out a series of aspirations for the kind of place Manor Royal would be by 2026.
The Manor Royal BID also launched its Mid Term Business Survey to find out from companies what improvements they wanted to see in the future. The survey runs until 30 June 2026
