Hosted in Wallop's beautiful function room, this event is designed to help you find contacts and collaborations to grow your business. Here's what to expect on the night:
- 7.30pm: free flow networking to settle into the space and get to know everyone
- 8.00pm: a presentation from our guest speakers, Michelle and Emily (details below!)
- 8.30pm: the chance for each attendee to share key details about your business**
- 9.30pm: free flow networking to chat with those you can help / have something to offer
** It is entirely optional if you choose to speak at the event! We recommend it, as it means people know more about what you offer and are better able to support you with your business.
Guest speakers
- We're very excited to have Michelle O'Neill from OOM (Our Office Manager) speak at this event. Michelle will be sharing more about how she supports small businesses to scale and giving you lots of top tips when it comes to office management. You can get to know her better through our recent feature on her, HERE.
- We're also very lucky to have Emily Marsden who is the Project Manager at Withy Works - our local co-working space above Withington Baths (and soon to be expanding to WPHI!) She'll be sharing more about this amazing local resource - both the space and their events, from finance check-ins to chances to connect with people working remotely.
Speaking slot
Here's what we'd encourage you to include in your (optional!) speaking slot:
- brief overview of what your business offers
- what you have to offer others / how they can work with you
- anything you need help with in your business at the moment
- top tip: the more specific you can be the better!
We try to keep these networking events relaxed and informal! We take our businesses seriously, but these are spaces to connect with fellow entrepreneurs and find a support network to help our businesses grow.
If that sounds like the right space for you, we look forward to seeing you there!
👋 This event also gives you access to our 'Manchester Business Network' group on Facebook AND on LinkedIn so that you can connect and collaborate with fellow entrepreneurs.
Please do feel free to post and promote what you're doing in these groups at any time - we're all about shining a spotlight on local businesses!
