Fleet business networking in person 14th May 2025

Welcome to our Fleet business networking in person group.

If you do business in the Fleet area of Hampshire we’d love to meet you. Your host is the fabulous Mandy Dineley. Mandy has the loveliest way of making everyone feel special and welcome.

Our agenda is a mix of informal networking, a speaker and a little learning. This month our speaker is accountant Sharon Malley who will be speaking about Topical Tax Tips.

We don’t do the 60 second pitch favoured by many networking communities. Instead, we have a different theme each month to keep our introductions fresh and to help us to get to know you better. This month we’re asking you to tell us about the results you achieve for your clients. This article might help.

All welcome at Fleet business networking.

Everyone is welcome at our business networking events. No professional restrictions, pressure to refer or attendance rules. We’re a welcoming bunch, and our meetings are typically 10-16 people so even if you are a novice networker they’re not too intimidating.

If you are nervous or have any specific needs, please email glenda@fabulousnetworking.co.uk with your phone number and we’ll work out how best to support you.

We’ll be meeting in the Spice Merchant in Crookham Village. There is ample parking.

There will be a £15 attendance fee (reduced to £12 for members) for this event to cover room hire and refreshments. Payment may be made by cash or card on arrival. This is a tax deductible marketing expense.

Your host

Your host is Mandy Dineley of My Beautiful Pen. Mandy specialises in beautiful words for special occasions. Whether you want help to write a speech or some framed words to give as a gift Mandy can help. Her offers include some magical letters from Father Christmas and some invitations to Lapland.

Mandy is also a talented, professional singer whose talents are much in demand, often with her bass playing husband Pete.

Your speaker

Sharon Malley started her career in tax and, after a few different jobs with small, medium and large accounting firms, she settled at Milne, Eldridge in 2000. She has really grown in her role and now has responsibility for both accounts and all forms of tax for their clients along with practice management input and networking opportunities on behalf of the firm. Her best love is still the nitty gritty of preparing accounts and tax returns, refining the data from the mass of documentation given to her and presenting an orderly result to her clients!

Your venue

We have recently moved our meetings to the Spice Merchant in Crookham village and we love it. Service is friendly and efficient, there’s easy parking and if you want to stay on for food there are great options specialising in Thai cuisine.
