Running a small business means spinning a lot of plates, and staying productive isn’t always easy. Between emails, social posts, admin and trying to stay visible, it’s hard to find the time to actually do the work you care about.
At our next Hive Connects event, we’re getting practical about productivity - sharing tips and tools that can help make your days a bit smoother, lighter and more focused.
We’ve invited three local experts to talk about the things that really make a difference:
Sarah Brewer - Virtual Executive Assistant & Business Manager
With experience spanning industries from finance to fashion, Sarah specialises in creating systems and processes that save time, cut stress, and free you up to focus on the work you actually love doing.
Victoria Dove — Founder, Dove Social & PR
With 25 years in communications and a straight-talking, results-driven approach, Victoria helps small businesses shine through social media, PR and creative storytelling. She and her team work with some of East London’s most vibrant independent businesses, alongside organising the William Morris Design Line as part of the London Design Festival.
Jason Golding — AI & Technology Consultant
Jason is passionate about helping businesses understand how GenAI can actually work for them. With a career across IT support, project coordination, and technical consulting, he brings a practical, problem-solving approach to making tech less intimidating and more effective for small businesses.
After the panel, we’ll also share a few practical tips you can try out in your own business.
As always, there’ll be plenty of time for chatting before and after the panel, time to ask more questions, meet new faces or reconnect with fellow creatives, freelancers and business owners in the area.
This is a relaxed, friendly evening for local business owners and freelancers who want to take better control of their time and business.
Come along if you’d like to:
✔️ Connect with other business owners on your doorstep
✔️ Have time saving streamlined processes
✔️ Keep up with your marketing without the stress
✔️ Find out if AI tools could actually help you
