Business speed networking - a place tonight! Archive - Originally posted on "The Horse's Mouth" - 2007-06-28 07:11:10 - Graham Ellis
Tonight is our Melksham Speed Networking Evening for local businesses to get together, spend a just a couple of minutes introducing themselves, and then seeing how and if they should be working together. "It's amazing what you can find in Melksham" we always say, and we're also reminded that even local businesses who look at their market as being away from the town can reap huge benefits by using local suppliers.
Occasionally - (and at times it feels that it's VERY occasionally!), two incidents that we might say "oops" to come together to make something that's very right. A cancellation phone call last night, just before I left home to go out to a Chamber of Commerce meeting, left us with an unfilled seat. And a few minutes later, I was chatting with the Chamber's chair who had been wanting to come along but the date had crept up on him and we had gotten full. Problem solved.
We do still have ONE place (as a result of an earlier pull out yesterday); anyone reading this from the Melksham area / doing business here - please email me (graham@wellho.net) or call on 708225 or 793803. Should be a very worthwhile evening (18:00 to 21:00).
We'll be holding a further event on Tuesday 16th October - this time extending the reach to cover businesses based in the nearby towns of Devizes and Trowbridge, from where we get a lot of our supplies, and where many of our hotel guests visit when in the area.
