SUMMARY:February NetWalk
DESCRIPTION:Book Now \nNetwalks – Networking with a Difference \nNetwalks are a relaxed and informal way to connect with other business owners. Instead of the usual room full of name badges and introductions\, you simply turn up\, walk\, and have a chat. \nThis style of networking is ideal for: \n\nNew business owners – who may find traditional networking events overwhelming.\nBusiness owners who haven’t networked before – and want to ease into it in a friendly\, low-pressure way.\nThose thinking about starting a business – who want to “test the water” and get a feel for what networking is really like.\n\nWith no pressure\, no pitches\, and no formalities\, Netwalks provide a simple and welcoming way to make connections\, share ideas\, and build confidence in networking. They are also a great chance to step away from the desk\, enjoy some fresh air\, and get into nature – the perfect way to round off a busy week or month.
