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 2010 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
I am really pleased to be Chairman of INC for the coming year. For me, the great thing about INC is the friendship, professionalism and range of contacts of the members which I have enjoyed over the last 6 years. Your committee and I are going to build on this to make INC the most friendly and effective business networking club in Shropshire.
My chosen charity is the Teenage Cancer Trust (TCT). TCT fund and build specialist units for young people in NHS hospitals. TCT units bring teenagers with cancer together with loads of new friends of their own age so they can support each other. Alongside all of this is a medical team of teenage cancer specialists who pool knowledge to create a body of expertise that’s second to none. Teenage Cancer Trust units aren’t like ordinary cancer wards. Everything about them has been designed to give teenagers the very best chance of a positive outcome. We want every young person with cancer in this country to have that chance.
