Introduction

New Mills Business Network began in October 2006 as an initiative developed by New Mills School Business and Enterprise College. The aim was to enhance the school specialism in Business and Enterprise by establishing more connections with the local business community and developing relationships between the local community and the school. The initiative has been highly successful and the group now has more than 60 business connections within the database.

 

Simon Belt talking about LinkedinThe members not only receive support and advice from each other but regular guest speakers have provided business information and the opportunity to develop your business through subjects ranging from Health and Safety, ICT, wellbeing in the workplace, media, marketing techniques and much more. The benefits of networking are endless and the reputation of a relaxed, informal, welcoming atmosphere have proved to be the success of the New Mills Business Network.

  

No fees 

The Network is completely free of charge. No joining fees to pay, no charge for refreshments – New Mills School Business and Enterprise College supports the resources for the group.

Meetings

The meetings are monthly and currently we aim for the third Tuesday in each month. The meetings start at 0730am and finish around 0900am. Bacon/egg sandwiches, tea/coffee is available throughout the meeting.

 

There is plenty of opportunity for networking and developing new contacts and there is a presentation by a guest speaker which tends to last 20 minutes or so. Everyone has the opportunity to introduce themselves, who they are and what they do – a mini commercial!
