Welcome to Oxted Networking
Oxted Networking helps switched-on businesses and business start ups in Oxted and the surrounding areas make new contacts and spread business ideas.
The group, which is open to all sole/micro and SME business owners (male or female), meets once a month in Oxted and welcomes a different guest speaker, business demo or mastermind each month; from a tour of the new Specsavers premises, to drink mixing demonstrations at The Ginistry, beginners yoga workshops and more!
This is more than just a regular coffee meeting, it's a unique insight into the ways that other local businesses are run, as well as being a supportive group of small business owners.
To attend any of our events, which occur mornings and evenings to ensure that there is always a time that is right for everyone, advance booking cost is normally £5 (plus booking fee) and any bookings made on the day are £10. For this cost, you'll get to see some great venues, and hopefully learn some new tricks, and who knows - it may even improve your cocktail making game!

Stay in love with your business!
February is the month of love, so this month we'll be joined by Barbara Khattri, owner of Elements Lifestyle Salon and Founder of Elaworld, a connected club that strengthens the core of small businesses through mindful leadership.
As a small business owner we often wear many hats; as the creative, the boss, the head of marketing, accounts, even being your own personal assistant?
And when you're juggling everything, it's hard to not feel constantly under pressure.
As the winner of the Business Culture Consultancy Awards 2019, Elaworld empowers small business owners to reconnect with their vision, and fall in love with their business again - turning the stress of surviving, into the joy of thriving.
This talk is especially perfect for SMEs, and anyone managing a team, or for anyone who just wants to understand when it comes to business what their strengths and weaknesses are.
It'll be a fun, hands on mini workshop, with 'stuff' you can implement straight away, and of course a goody bag!
Schedule:
6.00pm - meet at Elements Oxted
6.30pm - your introductions
7.00pm - Barbara Khattri's presentation
8.00pm - ends
Tea, coffee and other refreshments will be available
Elements Hair Salon is located in Oxted High Street on the right-hand side as you drive from the A25. Parking is available at Ellice Road Car park

Oxted Networking was founded by events organiser Lee Pegrum of Indigogo Events. From the tender age of 21 events have been Lee's passion, she just can't resist organising! It all started when she formed a car club which then led to creating a motoring weekender attracting 10,000 people and this was just for fun!
Years later and events are now an integral part of her business from charity events to networking meetings just like Oxted Networking. Lee's current current mix of events includes Classic Car Connections car meetings and tours, Mojo health events and Networking events, Oxted Networking and Oxted Netwalking. If you would like inspiration or help in creating your own event then please contact Lee today. Email: Lee Pegrum Phone: 07976 820414 Web: www.indigogo.co.uk |
