Worthing Hour, set-up by Worthing-based Cuckoo Communications, sets aside 60 minutes every Wednesday evening for businesspeople to go online and make new business connections.
Cuckoo’s co-director Harriet Glover, 32, explained it was part of her strategy to ‘unite the town in 140 characters’.

“It’s one of the very best things we’ve done and I hope it goes from strength to strength because we’re on a mission to unite a town with 140 characters. “I love Worthing and any support for our local businesses - in whatever form - is a good thing.”
The level of engagement in the concept took Mrs Glover by surprise.
She said: “There was a real gap in the Twittersphere for Worthing businesses and we seized the opportunity to fill it.
