Next week I’ll be sharing my business journey at the first Kirklees and Calderdale Connect event, hosted by AD:VENTURE.
The theme for the launch is ‘Back to the Start’. A chance for local business owners to share why we started out, the highs and lows along the way, and the support that’s helped us get here.
I’ll be joining Yvette Whitwam of Beanstalk HR and James Fearnley of Hill Rise Architecture to talk about what inspired me to set up Sophie Seddon PR, the challenges I’ve faced, and how AD:VENTURE has supported me.
I won’t be doing a big flashy presentation. Just an honest, relaxed chat about my journey so far (and a few stories along the way).
If you’re an AD:VENTURE client in Kirklees or Calderdale, this new peer-to-peer networking hub is a brilliant opportunity to meet other business owners who get it, share experiences and ideas, problem-solve together, and build supportive relationships tight here in our patch.
When: Wednesday, 1 October, 9:30 am to 12:00 pm
Where: Cedar Court Hotel, Huddersfield
Cost: Free (includes tea, coffee and breakfast pastries)
I’m really looking forward to being part of this first event and hearing from others who’ve taken the leap into business too.
If you’re in business or thinking of starting a business, I’d love to see you there.
