We had a particularly good Wednesday this week, with two new members joining the Ely table.
Darren Wright, of Darren Wright Professional Builders, came along thanks to a referral that began as a project. Darren has been working with our electrician Matt Ferrie of Ferrie Electrical Services on a large build, and after enough chat between trades on site, Matt suggested he should come to a meeting and meet the rest of us. He did, he liked the room, he joined. That arc is exactly the way good networking is supposed to work. A job gets done well, the people doing it find each other useful beyond the job, and the group widens by one member who has already been vouched for in the most practical way there is.
Claire Grainge of Claire Grainge Wealth Management is also joining us, although in her case it is a transfer rather than a fresh start. Claire has been a regular at our Cambridge group for a while, but work commitments mean Tuesday mornings have stopped working for her diary. Rather than drop networking altogether she has pointed her car up the A10 and joined our Wednesday meeting instead. That flexibility is one of the reasons we run two groups, same warmth, same format, different day, no lost momentum.
A warm welcome to both of you. Bring your sixty seconds, bring an ask, and we will do what we always do.
If you are reading this and wondering whether one of the meetings might suit you, the next face-to-face dates for both Cambridge and Ely are on businessbrew.org, and visitors are always welcome.
