Colchester Business Network (Colbiz) - Successful, Fun, and Free!
WHAT
The Colchester Business Network (Colbiz), has been running in Colchester since 2009. We are an informal, successful, fun and free of charge group. We believe people do business with people they like, not because they pay to attend a group! The network is run by Tapper Financial Services and is open to businesses in Essex and Suffolk. We welcome all businesses, and we keep mortgage and personal/business insurance to our services, as that is our own industry sector.
The usual meeting format is informal networking to start, followed by a one minute round of introductions, where people say who they are, what they do and perhaps who they would like to meet.
We then have a guest speaker to speak for around 10 minutes (all attendees are invited to speak, providing they are a reasonably regular member). We then have a business card raffle for a bottle of wine which is followed by more informal networking.
We look forward to meeting you!
