APRIL ROUND-UP

Lots of fun and laughter on a gorgeous sunny evening in Marylebone!  The April London Women Mean Business meeting was another success, with some fantastic women who were delightful company. 

Our venue for the evening was Colony Bar & Grill, a buzzing restaurant and bar just off Marylebone High Street.  Okay, so not particularly conducive for a traditional networking event, but in spite of this the feedback was fab and much appreciated.  Lots of good connections were made and we saw several new faces, some completely new to the world of networking - and what a great place to start! 

And our speaker, Francesca Lubenko, was the perfect person to help those new to networking - even the more seasoned networkers also learned a thing or two - with some great tips and ideas on how to capitalise on the contacts made at such events.  With a change in plans, Francesca took the time to circulate the room to speak to everyone on an individual basis - and will be back to speak at a later stage to follow up on the ideas discussed.

Our next meeting takes place on Wednesday 11th May.  If you're not already on our mailing list, drop us a line at londonwmb@googlemail.co.uk and we'll ensure you're included so that you are kept informed of future events.

In the meantime, happy networking!
