Simon Pittman - Books & Networking - Winter 2024

Read business, personal development or non-fiction books?

Looking for ideas for books to read, or would like to recommend books to others?

Interested in connecting with, and getting to know, other local business owners?

Books & Networking are small, relaxed and informal networking events with a book theme - an opportunity to meet other business owners, share knowledge and discuss the books you are currently reading.

As with any other networking meeting, there will be an opportunity for general business discussions, networking and getting to know everyone.

Everyone will have an opportunity to discuss which books they are currently reading (or ask for book recommendations), share knowledge, and discuss goals and what they have learned from the books they are reading.

Don't worry if you are not currently reading a book - this could be an opportunity to ask for a book recommendation, or get ideas from what everyone else is reading.

Previous meetings have included a range of book recommendations - from business books, personal development, motivational, inspirational, biographies, and practical how to books.

Whether you are self employed and working from home, a business development manager, or a company owner - everyone is welcome! As a lot of people don't use Facebook, you don't have to be a member of the Facebook group to attend.

By the end of the meeting, you will have networked and met other business owners (and catch up with existing contacts), identified goals and knowledge, and discovered ideas for books to read to help your business.

SPACES ARE LIMITED and booking is essential - so book early to avoid disappointment.
