I am quite new to the business world, although I have run my own businesses for 4 years it is only now that I do it fulltime. I am aware of networking meetings that small businesses can go to but I have not seen any in Manchester. Does anyone know of any that are held in the NW area?

If not I have access to a great venue with a private bar. I can arrange a networking evening for people in the NW if anyone here is interested. I will hopefully make it free and encourage people to come down with business cards and product samples etc. I can even set up a mic and PA so everyone can introduce themselves and say what they do.

I do not want to make it a selling event, I just want somewhere that small businesses can meet up, discuss marketing ideas and make new contacts. Basically I want to do what this forum does but in an actually room.

If anyone is interested or knows of existing meeting please post here. I will not be able to do one until next year now but I can put one together if people are interested.

Hi Matt,

6 degrees do a small biz networking event, their site is at www.sixdegreesnetwork.co.uk . I've been along a few times, not recently but I'm planning to go again soon.

In addition there are the usual BNI/BRE type events that I haven't been along to...

Were those your business cards on the tables at BEXNW? I think I recognise the name ;-)

Thanks and I will take a look at those links.

They were my cards at the BEX event. I was disapointed at how quiet it was, I only went on the first day. Did you go on the second day and was it busier?

You should take a lookat my website www.mkprinting.co.uk as it has been updated.

Thanks

Matt
