New business networking events launch in Hammersmith
Small businesses, start-ups and other local professionals welcome to join new series of monthly networking events in and around Hammersmith
First event takes place on Thursday 10 October at central Hammersmith venue
Businesses serving customers in and around Hammersmith, Fulham, Chiswick and Shepherd's Bush are being warmly invited to the launch of a new series of monthly networking events, run by Hammersmith Networking.
The first event will be held in a central Hammersmith location on Thursday 10 October, and promises attendees a fun and welcoming environment in which to foster connections, build relationships and grow their businesses.
Tickets are on sale now.
These new monthly business networking events are organised by Dom Masterton-Smith, who also runs local directory Hammersmith Business.
“Speaking to business owners in West London, there’s a strong appetite for local networking events that can help people broaden their professional networks and forge new connections,” said Dom.
“Since setting up our local business directory, I’ve had lots of people ask me if we’re planning to run networking events as well. And now, I’m happy to say, the answer is yes.
“Our events are aimed at anyone doing business locally in and around Hammersmith. So whether you’re the owner of an established local business, you run a start-up, or you’re a freelancer keen to expand your professional network in West London, we’d love to welcome you to one of our events.”
Future business networking events – from ‘netwalks’ to speed networking
As well as monthly business networking mixers, Hammersmith Networking plans to offer ‘netwalks’ for local businesspeople. These small group walks, followed by a coffee, are designed to be a more informal way for people to meet and get to know other local businesses.
The idea was inspired by a networking group in Hampshire, which runs similar events. “While the scenery in West London is a bit different to Hampshire,” said Dom, “our netwalks will make the most of Hammersmith’s incredible riverside location and public spaces.”
Another event that promises to be popular with local businesses is speed networking – an opportunity for people working in and around Hammersmith to meet a wide range of other local people in a short space of time.
Similar to speed dating, but for local businesses, these events will offer a fun and energetic form of business networking and will take place every few months.
"Whether you're working from home, enjoy flexible working arrangements or simply want to get out and build your business network in the area, West London offers a vibrant and supportive community of fellow entrepreneurs and workers,” said Dom.
“Our networking events are designed to be a fun and convenient way for local businesses to connect, expand their networks and build their businesses in and around Hammersmith.
“We’re looking forward to welcoming guests to our first Hammersmith Networking event, and to hosting many more!”
