The SevernNet area covers Royal Portbury Dock, Avonmouth, Severnside & Western Approach … together with the local villages
SevernNet was born from an initiative started in 2009.
Formerly known as the Bristol Port Estate and Vicinity Initiative, SevernNet has enabled a wide range of benefits and improvements for businesses and organisations across the area. It was officially launched with its new name and identity on 14th November 2012 at an event at the City and Port of Bristol Sports and Social Club.
We’ve continued to build upon the links developed between businesses, the community, local authorities and other stakeholders for over a decade.
Working with over 200 businesses/organisations we have achieved significant results.
