Shrivenham business networking in person 17th June 2025

Welcome to our Shrivenham Business Networking in person group.

If you do business in the Shrivenham, South Oxfordshire or Swindon areas we would love to meet you.

Our speaker this month is social media strategist Dipa Kotak.

Our agenda is designed to help you to form and grow relationships with people who can help your business to thrive. Typically this includes…

• Informal networking
• Get to know you activities
• Speaker followed by discussion
• Business development slot
• Testimonials and future events.

We have ditched the one minute pitches favoured by so many networking groups. Each month we have a different theme for our introductions to keep them fresh and interesting. In June we’re asking you to introduce yourself in 15 words. This article  is intended to help.

All welcome at Shrivenham Business Networking

Everyone is welcome. 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 specific needs, and would like a helping hand please drop me a line with your phone number and we’ll work out how best to support you.

The cost of this meeting is £15 (£12 for members) which includes light refreshments. This is a tax deductible marketing expense.
