The Independent Network Club (Shropshire)

The Independent Network Club (Shropshire) started in May 2002. It is an independent club which makes it accessible to all businesses - large and small. It does not have huge annual fees going to franchise owners. This vibrant, lively business club exists for the benefit of members and meets every fortnight at Hawkstone Park Hotel.

It covers the whole of Shropshire and its borders, and thereby aims to help both rural businesses as well as encouraging urban business opportunities and it provides both a breakfast and an early evening meeting once a month, thus encouraging a wider variety of members across the county. Go to the 'meeting dates' page for 2011 dates.

Guests are very welcome at our meetings - you can attend up to two meetings. The cost for visiting a morning or evening meeting is £10 which includes a bacon or veggie bap for your breakfast and tea and coffee is provided for both meetings. Our current membership fee is very reasonable at only £15 per month which includes the breakfast and meeting refreshments, with an initial joining fee of £50. If you want to visit us please contact the secretary to let us know and you will be assured of a warm welcome.

Why join our network club?

Apart from getting to know other like-minded businesses in the area, you of course have the opportunity to generate new business through networking and referrals. Don't forget that all the other members are acting as your representatives and as they are out and about doing business may come across a business that might need your services. The club members are your extra sales force! Plus the members act as a support network. If you have a problem in your business, you never know, another member may have 'been there - done that' and have the answer. If you only join one network club in Shropshire, make sure that it is INC.

Message from the Chairman

Christian ChannerI feel very privileged to have been elected as Chair of INC. My hope is that I can live up to both the expectations of the loyal membership and the example set by my predecessors as Chair.

I have no doubt that 2012/13 will be another good year for INC – not least because it will be celebrating it’s 10th birthday – no mean achievement in the world of business networking. I am sure that it is due to the unique blend of real business developed and a friendly, supportive and sociable nature that continues to attract a vibrant and varied membership.

I have chosen to support a great charity that directly affects the lives of people in this area, in line with our group ethos. So the Chairman’s Charity for 2012/13 will be the Midlands Air Ambulance.
