🤝 Think networking feels awkward or forced?

You’re not alone — but done well, it can be one of the most powerful tools for your business! 

With mounting economic pressures on small to medium businesses, connections are key to long-term success… and building strong networks has never been more crucial.

That’s why we’re really excited to welcome John Harvey – author, consultant, speaker, broadcaster, and one of the UK’s leading experts in business networking — to our April Business Club!

With over 30 years of experience in business development and client management, John knows what it takes to build lasting, valuable connections. As founder of The Samphire Club, he’s built a strong reputation across the South West for helping people make the right connections — and making networking feel genuinely enjoyable (yes, really!).

So, whether you’re looking to grow your business, strengthen your network, or simply reconnect face-to-face, this event is designed to energise, inspire and equip you for what’s next.
