Shrivenham business networking in person 18th February 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.

This month, our speaker is Mandy Dineley of My Beautiful Pen. Mandy’s talk is The Power Of Words: How Sharing Your Values Creates Meaningful Connections. Sharing your values and ethos helps build trust, attract like-minded clients and set you apart. Mandy will provide some creative ways to share those values. It will be a reminder to those who already know about this to do this more often.

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 or business activity 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. This month we’re asking you to tell us about your ideal client. This article might help you to prepare.

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.
