We don’t need to remind you; that time of the year is fast approaching and today, 1^st December marks the day when lots of little (and big) children will start ripping open the doors on advent calendars in a countdown to the big day.

But when it comes to doors opening, here at Courtney Reed Group, many of our new business opportunities come from networking. Attending events and meeting old and new contacts plays an integral part in our professional development and at this time of the year, it’s a perfect opportunity to give thanks for this brilliant promotional channel.

As members of a well-known business networking chapter and regular attendees at one-off events, we are now well-versed in reaching out to the business community and like nothing more than enjoying the company of others. For us, there is something magic about meeting people from different industries, careers levels and even visiting new venues. For us, the excitement comes from never knowing who you are going to meet or where it may lead. It sounds like a cliché but every moment is an opportunity to change the course of your life and business. We have seen it happen.

And it is not all about business cards, networking is a great time to have fun and share knowledge. All around us, amazing people are doing amazing things every day, quietly excelling at their own specialities. We understand that it is our privilege to meet so many and find a ready-made selection of inspirational mentors. And for those who entrepreneurs who are newer to the circuit – nothing feels better than helping new businesses along the way.

Mixing and a mingling happens all year around here. If networking is in your new year resolutions, we hope to bump into you soon or If you would like an informal discussion on your recruitment or tender plans for 2017, get in touch today.
