Who attends Fabulous Networking Hook?
Meetings usually include 10=14 people, with a mix of regular members and visitors.
Attendees include financial advisers, HR consultants, accountants, bookkeepers, lawyers, writers, therapists and other small business owners.
Everyone is welcome. We don’t have attendance rules or professional lockouts, and members belong to the wider Fabulous Networking community rather than a single group. This means there’s always a healthy mix of familiar faces and new connections.
Thinking of coming along for the first time?
Visitors are always welcome at Fabulous Networking events, and you’re welcome to attend up to three meetings before deciding whether to join the community.
We regularly get visitors who are new to networking. We promise you a safe, supportive space and warm welcome.
Book your place and come and see whether Fabulous Networking feels like the right community for you.
What a lovely group . . . like every Fabulous Networking group. We had a great session ** capturing everyone’s learning from the networking that they have done. So many tips and hints. Ian Crocker
