A flourishing business networking group is on the move for its next event – thanks to a show of support from a newly-renovated pub.
The Horse and Jockey at Grindley Brook has offered to host Whitchurch’s Collaborative Networking Group for its first meeting after the summer break.
Networking ambassador Teresa Jones said the pub had been keen to stage the meeting on September 6 to show its own support for the local business community.
“We are delighted to be moving to the Horse and Jockey after the pub said it wanted to work with the local business community to support it as much as possible,” she said.
“The Horse and Jockey has been beautifully renovated and will make an exciting, innovative venue for the networking meeting. It will be a pleasure to work with a venue that is committed to supporting the development of local businesses.
“We have a great programme of guest speakers over the next year and we will be introducing a business focus to each meeting. Our aim is that all attendees will leave the networking meeting with ideas, strategies and contacts for improving their businesses.
“After your summer break come and join us to kick-start your September and really get your business moving forward.”
Next month’s meeting will feature a PR and marketing workshop hosted by Jon Simcock, of Shrewsbury-based Brightstone PR, and Jon Hepburn of Wem marketing specialists Fedora Consultancy.
The pair will show how developing a basic marketing and PR strategy is a vital part of growing and nurturing a business, and offer valuable tips on how to put your own plans into practice.
The September 6 meeting runs from 10 – 12 pm and costs £8.50. Tickets are available through Eventbrite or pay on the door.
