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

It seems that many companies have been concentrating 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? 

You should come along to 3rd Thursday Networking, via ZOOM.

This is "Quality networking in a relaxed atmosphere". For over 14 years our networking group has been helping everyone who attends.

Helping them to build their business, gain important contacts, gain colleagues who become friends but also to develop excellent new customer opportunities for business growth, whether face to face or more recently by Zoom.

The next meeting is by Zoom on 17th March 2022 at 915am ( after the school run).

Why not come along and see why people say this is one of the best networking groups they have ever attended.
