Networking


Not the computer kind, but the business kind! I’ve started doing a lot of this lately and am finding it such a great way of meeting contacts and clients. Which I know might sound obvious as that’s what these events are run for, but I just wanted to write about my own short experience of it. They are relaxed and quite social which was my first pleasant surprise and there is often a guest speaker who gives some really good advice. So I’ve been leaving these events with new advice, new contacts and new ideas! All for a small attendance fee. This is the other good thing about them; they are so cost effective compared to an expensive advert and, depending on your business; you may get more out of networking!

What are we up to?

New projects we're currently working on:

Just been given the go ahead to develop an online directory service for the Edgbaston and Harborne Observer (www.ehobserver.com) so that it provides a local business search (mini Yellow Pages basically).

Finishing off the 3 websites for CJS, Lab and Dental and PFP who are 3 great companies over in Witton. Some photography and tidying up still to do. All 3 companies link together via some tabs: www.pneumaticfluidpower.co.uk

Working on a new website for Sev Necati Training in London which will allow users to book courses online. More details will follow.

Nearly finished a website for MSS Painting and Decorating who are experienced decorators covering the West Midlands (www.mssdecorating.com)

Snowdon

On Saturday myself and some other equally unfit people walked up Snowdon for a bit of a change from the everyday busy life and to also raise some money for Macmillan Cancer Support charity. We all made it to the top and was lucky enough to have some clear weather...

And this is one of the views from the top...


We are delighted to have raised over £1000 for the charity and would welcome any more donations: http://www.justgiving.com/strollupsnowdon/

Many thanks to those who have donated.
