Time you got out more?

While all else may seem to be on the decline, there are thankfully networking events a-plenty for small business owners. So in these dark winter months, we reckon the time to get out and about, make contact and share ideas with some like-minded souls, is now.

A couple of recommendations in the London area:
  • BNI business breakfasts are the stuff of networking legend. TT has been going along for many years because we find them quite simply, to be a brilliant way to meet other businesses. Join us and some 400 other members as they launch International Networking Week at the Lords cricket ground on 5th February, 7-8.30 am. Find out more about BNI at: http//www.bni.com/
  • Business Junction is a London/South-East independent business referral network. Their monthly networking events pull in SME owners from far and wide. February’s lunch event is at The Ebury restaurant in Pimlico on Tuesday 3rd February. This month’s guest speaker will be London Mayor, Boris Johnson. Go to www.businessjunction.co.uk to find out more about registration.
  • We Have No Office Party is a new networking event, offering the self-employed an informal chance to meet, network and generally shoot some business breeze. This event will be in full swing from 6.30 at the Kings Arms, Roupell St, Waterloo: http://www.fancyapint.com/pubs/pub1006.html Contact the TT team on 0845 075 1044 to find out more.
Networking across the UK
The examples above are just the tip of the networking iceberg and wherever you are there will be something going on. Check online for other local or virtual business groups such as Sistersnog, Anthena, The Room Upstairs, BRE, The Millionaire's Club, ecadamy and many, many more. We use this website which can put you in touch with events to meet like-minded business contacts right across the UK: http://www.findnetworkingevents.com
