SAFFRON WALDEN SPEED NETWORKING – SPERATE EVENT

After the Saffron Walden Exhibition & Speed Networking last year, you told us you would rather the events were separate – so that is exactly what we have done this year! The Saffron Walden Speed Networking event will be on Wednesday 21st March 2012 at the 8 Bells, from 4.30pm – 6.40pm. It will be £15+VAT to attend. 

A Speed Networking event is an informal but highly focused 2 hours in which you connect with everyone present – typically more than 15 businesses – in structured, face to face, one to one, micro-meetings lasting 4 minutes each. Without sacrificing the enjoyment of networking, you gain maximum productivity from the time you invest at low cost. There’s none of the awkwardness of open networking and none of the financial or attendance commitment demanded by membership clubs – just straightforward, relaxed, down to earth B2B.

This is a great opportunity for owners and directors of business in Saffron Walden to meet everyone in the room, in a non-pressure environment, and a chance to meet people before the exhibition in June. To book please email info@srevents.co.uk.

2012 will be the year for exhibitions for SR Events. We are hopeing to launch two new events in Essex and Hertfordshire in the next few weeks, so watch this space!

This year the Professionals networking curry lunch will be held at Yuva in Stansted (CM24 8BX) every two months (on the 3rd Friday of the month) from 12.30pm onwards and will be £6 to attend. The event is a great chance to network in a relaxed environment, without the membership fees. Enjoy excellent Indian Food for a very reasonable £6! (This is payable on the day, and does not include a drink). The next event is Friday 24th February – to avoid the half term. To reserve your place please call 01799 544905, email info@srevents.co.uk and join the conversation on facebook.

SR Events helped to raise money for a number of charities this Christmas: St Clare Hospice through the Professionals and the Harlow Chamber, the Variety Club through a networking lunch for 1000 people, the Three Little Miracles fund through a black tie dinner and Action Medical Research though a networking lunch! We would like to thank everyone who donated for these excellent causes.

Charity networking balls and lunches are a great way for corporate clients to give something back to the community, fitting in with many CSR policies. It was also provide a valuable platform for clients to socialise with their clients and colleagues in a relaxed setting.

Over 40 visitors and exhibitors enjoyed the speed networking breakfast. Attendees enjoyed a great range business seminars, kindly organised by our sponsor Charter House accountants; and also enjoyed some fantastic creative seminars from local businesses.  

The exhibitors enjoyed a drinks reception after the events, and thanks to a number of local companies generosity, we raised a fantastic £1,300 for our charity, The Walk Centre!

Next month Fri 24th the sponsor will be Heather Nesbit Ltd, put it in your diary!

The Exhibition is in it’s first year and with an anticipated attendance upwards of 500 visitors and 70 stands the event will provide you with a unique opportunity to network and interact with owners and directors of businesses in surrounding area.

This year’s event is being held at the Bellhouse Hotel which is conveniently located near Junction Two of the M40 and offers plenty of parking and a relaxed atmosphere in which to do business.
