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.
