Hot Stories Business Networking

02/09/2026

People forget pitches. They remember stories.

So give them a reason to remember yours.

Hot Stories Business Networking in Cambridge isn’t about collecting business cards or perfecting your elevator pitch.

It’s about being memorable.

Share your story.

Build genuine connections.

Learn from other business owners.

Create opportunities through conversations people actually remember.

The Red Lion, Cambridge

Every second Wednesday

10am–12pm

Come to share, connect and grow.

Because people do business with people they remember.

You don’t need to be a speaker to share your story.

I’ve been thinking about this for a long time.

Would business professionals really step up and share their WHY?

Then I thought about how many amazing businesses I meet.

Great people. Great services. Great stories.

But how can we recommend them if we don’t really know the person behind the business?

That’s why Hot Stories is different.

Everyone has the opportunity to share.

Your WHY.

Your story.

Your experience.

What you do and who you help.

This is how you build authority and trust.

And it helps your next client get to know you before they even speak to you.

Hot Stories Business Networking

9 September | 10am–12pm

Red Lion, Cherry Hinton

Connect. Collaborate. Share. Recommend.

Your comfort zone won’t introduce you to your next opportunity.

Sometimes, you simply have to step forward and tell your story.

That’s what Hot Stories Business Networking is about.

If public speaking isn’t comfortable yet, start small. You’ll have a supportive room, real conversations and an opportunity to be seen without pressure.

Bring your banner.

Bring your leaflets.

Bring your story.

Meet people building businesses just like you, create genuine connections, friendships and opportunities.

And don’t forget our Selfie Challenge - we love highlighting the people who step in front of the camera and take part!

We meet every second Wednesday at The Red Lion, Cherry Hinton, Cambridge. Check it out https://hotstories.network/

Next Hot Stories: 9 September.

Sometimes stepping outside your comfort zone is exactly where your next connection begins.

Will we see you there?

The future is always unpredictable.

But you can put yourself in the right rooms for good things to happen.

You never know who you’ll meet.

Who they’ll introduce you to.

Who needs exactly what you offer.

Or which conversation creates an opportunity you couldn’t have planned.

That’s why we created Hot Stories.

On 9th September, we’re bringing together brilliant businesses from Cambridge and beyond to connect, share stories and discover what could happen next.

And if you choose to share your story, you’re also building visibility, authority and reputation around your brand.

You can’t predict every opportunity.

But you can create more chances to find one.

Be in the room:

P.S. What opportunity came from a conversation you never expected?

Your business doesn't need more nice photos.

It needs photographs that actually have a job to do.

That was Chris Hornby's message at Hot Stories Business Networking Cambridge.

Chris is a brand photographer.

And he made an important distinction.

A photographer can turn up, take great photographs and leave.

A brand photographer starts before the camera comes out.

Chris wants to know:

Who are you trying to reach?
What do you want people to understand about your business?

What story should your images tell?
Where will those images actually be used?

Website?
LinkedIn?
Brochures?
Leaflets?
Social media?

Each has a different purpose.

And that changes how the photographs should be planned, captured and supplied.

The goal isn't one photograph you post tomorrow.

It's creating a bank of business assets you can strategically use for the next three or four months.

I particularly like that thinking because visibility without purpose can become noise.

Your photographs are part of your reputation.

Before somebody speaks to you, they're already looking at your website, LinkedIn profile and social media.

What are your images telling them?

Chris also provides the professional event photography at Hot Stories, capturing the people and conversations behind our community.

Hot Stories Business Networking takes place every second Wednesday of the month at The Red Lion, Cherry Hinton, Cambridge.

Come to network, build genuine relationships or share the story behind your own business.

Don't just take photographs of your business. Build visual evidence of the business you want people to trust.

P.S. When did you last look at your business photos through the eyes of a potential client?
