About this Event
Our Darlington host's Liza Pontone of Active Financial, Alicia Nesham of Hewitts Solicitors, and Sharon Hutchinson of Waltons Business Advisers can't wait to welcome you again to Darlington.
Our JUST NETWORKING is totally relaxed, just good business conversation. We naturally share ideas and experiences that could lead to potential growth for you or your business.
Women actively share positive solid business contacts, Tees Valley is not a big place! Assist champions the idea Women Support Women #WSW, yes we breathe, work, eat, sleep, repeat this!
The exciting news we are again heading to the Darlington Building Society for our autumnal Just Networking!
Why come along...
Out informal morning gatherings are a chance to take time away from the office or WFH.
You will meet other women from the world of work to simply talk business, you may be looking for new contracts or have a product or service that you want to showcase. We like to encourage the 'trade local' ideology. We are big on collaboration and believe with women it can work well.
We are extremely proud that so many of you have built solid business relationships and work together and the added bonus many friendships have blossomed.
You could use this hour a month to arrange to network with someone you have not seen for a while. Perhaps get in to a routine and come together for your 2025 networking each month, giving space in your diary for each other. Of course while you both catch up you will have the added benefit to chat over a cuppa with many others.
What a super-productive hour this will be!
What to expect...
Spotlight introductions, this is a chance for a short sharp 30 seconds to say Who you are, Where you are from (the business or workplace you represent) and What your 'Ask' is for the day. Followed by some Just Networking as you seek out them key people you want to connect with from the spotlight moments.
We want to hear about you, your business and what you offer.
Are you launching a new service, looking for new customers, got a event to promote or want to share with us some new ingredients in your handmade products? Come tell us about it we genuinely want to know and are keen to help share your news.
Do make a point of listening to the 'spotlighting' of others, perhaps write down the names of who you want to speak with, then use your time wisely as you connect with those in particular have peeked your interest. Or you can just enjoy the company of a room full of women with a positive vibe.
When...
An hour only, one morning a month, we simply create a space for you to meet other businesswomen and those representing their organisations. You can come on a regular basis and build on getting to know your connections or you are more than welcome as a one-off visitor.
