Ealing in person business networking 7th February 2025

Welcome to our Ealing business networking group.

Grow your business networking connections in Ealing and beyond.

Running a business can be lonely. Who do you turn to for support? How do you meet potential collaborators or suppliers? Attending our Ealing business networking group will introduce you to people who care about you and your business. They may become customers or introducers. They will almost certainly become supporters and friends.

Our February agenda.

Our agenda is structured but flexible to respond to the needs of the group on the day.

There’s time for some informal networking over a hot drink and cake.

Our speaker this month is Sapna Pieroux of Inner Visions ID who will be speaking about Business and Personal Branding and why we need both.

We’ve ditched the pitch! They become very repetitive. Instead, we vary our introductions with a different theme each month. In February, we ask you to describe your ideal client. This article may help.

The cost is £15 (reduced to £12 for members) including a hot drink and cake.

Your host

Glenda Shawley is the MD of Fabulous Networking. She is an experienced marketing consultant and trainer. She’s also the author of Founded after 40: how to start a business when you haven’t got time to waste.

Our speaker.

Our speaker is Sapna Pieroux, multi-award-winning brand consultant, author and expert speaker. Sapna has been building brands for nearly 30 years.

For her first 20 years in media, she worked with clients like Toyota, Sony Ericsson, L’Oreal… (and partied with the stars!)

Since then, she’s run her own brand consultancy, InnerVisions ID, building personal and business brands for ambitious leaders and teams, so they can stand out and show up with clarity and confidence to increase their influence and impact.

Sapna’s best-selling book, ‘Let’s Get Visible!’ won a global Business Book Award for Startup Inspiration. She’ll be bringing copies with her. I recommend it.

Her clients call her ‘SuperSaps’ – she can rebrand a business in a day! – but her ultimate superpower is getting the world to see YOURS.

Our venue

We meet at Rayuela, a fine dining Spanish restaurant in the new Dickens Yard development in the heart of Ealing

There’s an underground car park accessible from Longfield Avenue (best joined from Gordon Rd. as there are turning restrictions with the Uxbridge Rd and the cameras take no prisoners!). There are other car parks on Springbridge Road

All bus routes along the A4020 are accessible. Ealing Broadway station is now fully accessible and serves National Rail, the Elizabeth Line and the Central and District Lines. It’s about a 5 minute walk.

Reasons for attending Ealing business networking.

• Every business needs to reach new customers, when we understand what you do and who you do it for, we can introduce you to potential customers.
• Support and learning are two benefits our members frequently praise our community for.
• Our meetings are relaxed but purposeful. No pressure to bring referrals and no attendance rules. We hope you’ll come because you enjoy it.

Fabulous Networking is a membership organisation, but visitors are always welcome. We don’t restrict attendance by profession or gender. We believe that there are opportunities to be gained by working with our competitors. Visitors are encouraged to attend up to three of our events before deciding if they’d like to join.
