Carrot Business Networking
Brief introduction of our ethos
Provide a relationship based, person-centred business building networking community. The emphasis will be on creating a positive environment to develop our own and each other’s businesses by sharing contacts, using introductions, providing referrals, and collaboration.
BUT, more importantly, we believe that we should support charity especially our two great charities, Lilian Prime MS Centre and Whispering Trees.
We meet every other Friday from 7:30am to 9:00am, with meetings officially starting at 8:00am.
Visitors are welcome! We provide coffee and a simple breakfast at no charge for first-time visitors.
Please get in touch if you wish to join us.
