According to a study carried out by the University of Edinburgh Business School and the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC), entrepreneurs who neglected their networking due to the pandemic risked "lasting damage to their businesses by letting their networks stagnate".

It seems that many companies have been concentrated on the financial impact of the pandemic or the effects on their workforce, spending much less time cultivating new contacts and existing contacts.

They added "we know that entrepreneurs with bigger, stronger, more diverse networks will do better than entrepreneurs without those things". The research goes on to say that entrepreneurs use their networks in three main ways: finding investors, finding customers and finding peer support.

Business people find many networking groups in the new on-line world to be daunting and are very "open" and do not lend themselves to conversations and warmth.

If this is what you are finding and you really need to find a superb networking group full of experienced business people, from many different industry sectors, there to help one another?
