I had the pleasure of celebrating our 9th anniversary on April 19th, and it was an incredible success!
Our networking event took place at the Jolly Farmers in Enfield, and I want to extend a heartfelt thanks to Carolyn and her wonderful staff for their support in making the event so fantastic.
We were truly honoured to welcome the Mayor of Enfield, Cllr Doris Jiagge, who brought with her a contagious positive energy that filled the room. Her passion for supporting local businesses was evident in the way she engaged with everyone, and her bright smile was infectious.
The event was made even more special by the amazing performance of Dan Saddler on the steel drum. The music was so good that we even had a spontaneous dance! At one point, I stepped back to take in the scene and was overwhelmed by the joy and connection that filled the room.
I am so grateful to everyone who joined in the celebrations or sent kind messages. Your presence and support made the event unforgettable. And even though we’ve just finished this year’s event, I’m already looking forward to planning our 10th anniversary celebrations!
I have a deep appreciation for networking. While the primary purpose is to build your business and connect with others in order to move products or services, the past nine years have taught me that there’s so much more to it. The value of networking became even more apparent during the pandemic. The intangible benefits of networking are priceless – friendship, support, business advice, being in the presence of inspiring individuals, providing value to others, and most importantly, not feeling alone.
I would like to take a moment to applaud all of you. We know it hasn’t been easy, but we’ve continued to persevere and support one another.
