THE LAUNCH OF NETWORK WITH STYLE
SHREWSBURY & TELFORD
Full statistic available - see below

NOVEMBER 21ST 2007 - SHREWSBURY

The launch was heavily over subscribed so only the lucky few attended but those that did attend certainly made sure they had a great networking experience.  It was a packed room, a lively group of very diverse businesses both in industry, status and length of trading.  The evening was all about explaining the who, the how and the why of Network with Style which took the form of three presentations.  The group was not just about Shrewsbury Business Women but ladies came from across the region.  Below are just a few snap shots of the evening unfolding....


TELFORD GROUP LAUNCHED JANUARY 2008

January 2008 saw the launch of the Telford group in the amazing Whitehouse Hotel Conference Suite.  It was a wretched night yet we were greeted by a lovely group of interested and dedicated ladies, from a wide area geographically as well as a wide business focus.  Very different to Shrewsbury in many ways and another exciting challenge for the ladies who run NWS.  Once again we presented the who, why and how but with the use of a Power Point presentation this time.

Meeting content and attendance overview

Meetings are a mix of learning and networking, we have already covered many subject in various ways and at various levels, employment, marketing, innovation and creativity, confidence building, market research, fire safety, insurance, e mail etiquette, and much, much more.

Wide range of businesses attend the meetings and we actively encourage interaction from larger companies so that the ladies can build relationships with banks, law firms and many more in a less formal environment.  We have regular attendances by Business Link, Barclays, HSBC, Lanyon Bowdler and many more.  We get help and sponsorship which allows the group to flourish and this again comes from many local companies such as Shires Fire & Safety, Belle Vue Sign and Print, Clear Design, ABC HR, Rosie Consulting, Special Additions, Seek It Out and many others. (please visit our hall of fame!)

EXCITING NEW LARGER STATE OF THE ART VENUE FOR SHREWSBURY

May 2008 will see our first meeting at our new venue Shrewsbury Town Football Club.  We are most grateful to the Old Bell for helping to get us established but with over subscribed meetings each month we had to move to something more suited to networking and formal meetings.  Thanks goes to STFC for being so kind as to agree to be the new home of the Shrewsbury NWS Group - we are truly delighted.  How ideal that in both towns we are at/by the football club - making it so much easier for our members to locate the venues.  Jane Shaw of JS Business Admin was kind enough to help us on the door (picture right below).

BIRTHDAY TIME AT NETWORK WITH STYLE - WE ARE 6 MONTHS OLD AND FIRMLY ON THE MAP

July saw our 6 month birthday, which we celebrated with birthday cake naturally.  The meetings were action packed and given added value (as always) by the extensive take home packs, offering the members special offers, competition entry, a wealth of advice on subjects including accounts and much more.

Our speaker was Julia Bond from MFG Solicitors - one of the largest law firms in the region.  Julia spoke on the thorny, but very relevant, issue of divorce / separation when a business is also involved - a tough subject but one that kept the audiences attention throughout.  The group went on from that to networking, promoting their businesses and to some simple but informative Market Research and creative workshops.

During the Shrewsbury meeting at Shrewsbury Town Football Club we were aided by Julie Mellors of the Truly Useful Company on front desk.  Michael Wilkinson of Infocus Photography joined us in the morning to act as our professional photographer, free of charge - we are hugely grateful to Michael for this.  Photographs below by Infocus.
