John Scheel from Positive Solutions is taking the floor today 💰

Our friendly Financial Advisor is giving us a lesson on life insurance and how important it is to have. Not the lightest of topics on a Friday morning but extremely, extremely valuable.

It’s a conversation that needs to be had, especially with someone as knowledgable and experienced as John! 👌🏻

🏋🏼‍♀️1️⃣2️⃣3️⃣ They say that there’s strength in numbers… and there’s strength in Simply Additions Ltd!!!

Lorraine’s 10 minute presentation was a treat this morning! It’s always helpful for the group to learn more about the business, the team behind it, and what they’re specifically looking for in terms of referrals.

We even received a sneak preview of Lorraine’s new website designed and built by Jak HQ, (another member of Network B2B Durham) which was very exciting indeed 👀 💜

Pleased to announce it’s Gokhan from Phonebox Telecom in the hot seat this week ☀️

This week, it’s 10 minutes in the HOT SEAT 🔥 for the fantastic Lucy from Elliott Westland Insurance Brokers Ltd.

Members of the group have a great opportunity to learn more about her business, her life, and the insurance industry as a whole.

💙 Happy Friday, everyone!

🎉 Thanks to the recent lifting of some restrictions, we were able to meet face to face for today’s networking session.

It really was an absolute mood booster to see everyone in person and to have a proper catch up - oh, and to pass those all-important referrals!

Huge thank you to our Chairman, Rob Heerin of Rob Heerin HR Ltd, for making this happen with the help of Keith Moffat. A fantastic start to the weekend 👏🏻

Marketing guru Shanon from Jak HQ gave a brilliant ten minute presentation today on the power of digital media and how Jak HQ can assist any forward thinking company with their websites, social media platforms and design and print needs.

🔗 It's important to stay CONNECTED during these trying times...

Network B2B Durham is refusing to drop momentum - we're continuing our amazing weekly sessions via Zoom, and the power of networking is still being consistently demonstrated.

We're sharing referrals, exciting 10-minute presentations and vital support, both professionally and personally.

Most recently, Rachel from Amaze Me Interiors (www.amazemeinteriors.co.uk) got crafty by showing us how to make a cute Easter bunny using recycled household materials! 💙🐰

We're feeling very overwhelmed today.

😥 The one and only Keith Moffat has now officially retired from Inter Line (North East), and is therefore leaving the group!

He may no longer sit alongside us on Friday mornings, but we're confident that he'll ALWAYS remain a big part of the B2B Durham family. Keith has been a valuable member for the past 14 years and we're truly sad to let him go (although, to be fair, we are still putting up a fight 🤣 ).

He's proof that Network B2B is a great source of new business and wonderful friends. After all, he has continued to turn up for the past 728 weeks - and it's not *just* for David's breakfasts...

Please join us in wishing Keith the very best of luck and a happy, happy retirement ❤️

This morning we had a powerful 10-minute presentation by DMA Law's Akkelin 👏

She provided a portion of knowledge about wills and probate through an engaging quiz - the perfect activity to ensure that everyone is ready and raring for the day ahead.

The winning team even received a Valentine's Day inspired gift! We won't name any names... *Cough, cough, Shanon from Jak HQ and Lorraine from Simply Additions Ltd* 😏
