Ealing in person business networking 4th October 2024

Welcome to our Ealing in person business networking group.

Grow your connections in Ealing 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 West London and beyond. 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.

The cost is £12 for members and £15 for visitors and includes light refreshments.

Our October agenda.

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

We don’t do the traditional 60 second pitch favoured by many business networks. Instead, we vary our introductions with a different theme each month. In October, we’ll be asking you to introduce your business in 20 words. We won’t count your name, business name or strapline in the 20 words.

Our speaker is Erin Thomas-Wong of Life Friendly Business whose talk ‘How To Achieve More in Less Time (To Get The Work/Life Balance You Want)’ will no doubt resonate with many.

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 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.

• Running a business can be lonely, it helps to have friends in business. We can become those friends.
• 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.
