Hook in person business networking 16th January 2025

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

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.

This month when you have told us what you do in one sentence we’d like to share a key goal that you have for 2025 and then tell us one thing we can do to help you achieve it.  This article explains more.

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 Grant Notman with a talk entitled ‘Wills and LPAs. Statistics you may not know’. 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.

Your speaker

Grant Notman specialises in giving his clients peace of mind that their families will be looked after when the worst happens. His services include wills, estate planning and lasting powers of attorney.

Your host

Claire Johnson is the driving force behind Bluebell Bookkeeping and Admin. She is an avid networker and a big believer that working with your competitors has many advantages.

Our venue

We’re meeting at the Coach and Horses in Rotherwick, a lovely country pub on the outskirts of Hook. There’s ample parking but if you need help with transport please email Glenda and we’ll try to connect you to a lift.

Reasons for attending.

• For many, business is especially tough at the moment, it helps to be surrounded by people who ‘get it’ but who will lift you up and help you to stay positive.
• The connections you make today can lead to the business you do, if not tomorrow, then in the coming months and years.

Here’s some of the feedback from previous meetings…
