What's in it for you?
In a nutshell, the opportunity to gain business through business networking, broaden your sphere of contacts, identify potential synergies and alliances as well as suppliers, and establish and build business connections - it really is as simple as that. All within the AQ Networking for business community. Where we see the chance to do so we will connect you with businesses in other groups, if that is what you would like.
Business Networking at AQ Networking is built entirely around our style and approach to being a member of a networking group, or networking club if you prefer. It is a friendly, relaxed and pressure free environment to facilitate you building relationships that will ultimately generate business referrals. You meet with like-minded business people in a situation where you can help one another.
Membership is limited to one per business discipline per group and each group will meet twice per month. We work as a team to invite guests to individual meetings with a real focus on helping one another generate business.
How do we do it?
We give you the chance to talk to one another! Our no-nonsense, no fuss, no frills approach means that we give you the chance to talk and make connections with other people in your local business community. We provide tea/coffee and food as part of the standard attendance or membership fee.
How are the meetings structured?
Our events are dedicated to the purest ethos of networking by providing you with the chance to meet many other businesses in a relaxed and pressure-free environment.
We start by taking a few minutes to welcome you and then the rest of the event is devoted entirely to giving you the opportunity to network. There are NO 60 second stand-ups, NO hard referral sessions and NO pressure. We do put a little bit of structure into the session and the rest is up to you.
How much does it cost?
Single event attendance varies dependent on venue, but our charges are always reasonable and good value.
Membership in 2011-2012 is £490.00 for the year and is fully inclusive - once you have paid your membership fee, which gives you 2 attendances per month, there is nothing more to pay.
What do our Members say about us?
I am continuously struck by the amount of support and time she provides to all the businesses that attend her events. Laura has a fantastic personality and ability to put businesses in touch with each other to either do business or collaborate. AQ Networking and Laura are exactly what I have been looking for to support me in my business as she is a fountain of knowledge and contacts, but more importantly willing to share her time and expertise. I would therefore whole heartedly recommend both Laura and AQ Networking.”
Mike Markham, Markham HR
“Laura’s enthusiasm to encourage people to succeed is endless. She not only offers networking events in various and unusual venues with interesting and entertaining speakers, she also offers guidance and training. I would recommend Laura for all her networking knowledge; she not only builds confidence but builds relationships too. Whenever I leave Laura’s networking events I feel I have been on a training event I always learn something. Go to ALIQUANTUM and AQ Networking they really work.”
Louise Elcock, JSL Conferences
