Ealing business networking in person 2nd May 2025

Welcome to our Ealing business networking in person 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 May 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 Dipa Kotak who will be exploring The Power of Social Listening – How to Stay Ahead in a Digital World.

We’ve ditched the pitch! They become very repetitive. Instead, we vary our introductions with a different theme each month. In May, we’re asking you to tell us to describe the results that you achieve for your ideal client.

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

Your host

Your host is Glenda Shawley, MD of Fabulous Networking. Glenda has run her own business for over 30 years and understands the highs and lows. She has been a member of Fabulous Networking for more than 12 years and when the former owner had to step down she couldn’t let it go.

Our speaker.

Dipa Kotak is a social media strategist with a background in accountancy and business consulting. She now empowers small business to thrive owners online with a particular emphasis on LinkedIn.

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 in person.

Our members describe Fabulous Networking as a safe, non-judgmental space where they can share their challenges with people they trust who understand. They value the friendship and support as well as the business they gain over time. These benefits come from the relationships you start at a meeting and develop over time.

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.
