TL;DR
Rose Tinsley Consulting joined the Federation of Small Businesses in June 2026 after attending a Chelmsford networking event, gaining access to its legal, financial, and lobbying support.
Last month we attended an FSB networking event hosted at Metro Bank in Chelmsford. It was a good room, with a mix of local small businesses, a few conversations worth having, and a decent sense of what the network actually looks like in practice.
We came away decided. Rose Tinsley Consulting is now a registered member of the Federation of Small Businesses.
The FSB represents over 200,000 UK small businesses and sole traders. Members get access to legal advice, financial products, and business support services. The FSB also lobbies government directly on policy that affects small businesses — something that matters more than it used to.
The support structure is practical and the local network is relevant to where we are as a business. If you’re a fellow FSB member working in property, energy, or infrastructure, get in touch. Read more about who we are as a GIS consultant based in Essex.
