Do you do business in the Hook area of Hampshire or surrounding areas? If so we’d love to welcome you to our in person business networking group.

Your host is expert networker, Claire Johnson of Bluebell Bookkeeping and Admin.. Claire knows what it’s like to walk into a room full of strangers and will make you feel welcome from arrival, or even before,

Grow your business network in Hook and beyond

There’s an old saying that it’s not what you know but who you know that counts. We agree. Our aim is to create the best connections in Hook and surrounding areas. Connections to people who will support you and your business. They might become your customers, your advocates and, very likely, your friends.

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.

Your attendance fee is £15 (£12 for members) to cover venue and light refreshments.

Our agenda at Hook business networking in person

There’s time for informal networking and to introduce your business to everyone present. We don’t do the traditional one-minute pitch. Instead, we find ways to be more spontaneous and interactive. Each month we do something a little different.

In April we are asking you to describe your business in one sentence and three bullet points. Hopefully this article will help.

Our agenda is structured but flexible to respond to the needs and size of the group on the day. Typically we will have a speaker on a topic of interest to business people. Our speaker will be Charlotte Haye of Vivid Copy Charlotte’s topic is Brand voice, and how to find yours

We may have a business hotseat, a mini workshop or some one to ones.

Support, learning and inspiration are three of our core values and will be woven through the meeting. We want you to leave feeling it was a morning well spent.
