Default Green & Ethical Business Networking in the Midlands

I have just started a networking group for any green/ethical businesses that are based in the midlands. The idea is to hold social and networking events in Birmingham so people can meet up and make useful connections. Anyone in the midlands that works for a green business, ethical enterprise, community group or social enterprise is invited to join.

Click here if you would like to join the group.

I can't persuade you to start one in Norfolk can I?

Good luck with it!

Why not set up your own, there are loads of green companies in Norfolk. Just a simple facebook group will do to start with.

Go Kate Go!

Hiya Kate,

Hope you're keeping well - and busy, by the looks of things!

I have thought about setting something up actually but with so much else going on its fallen by the wayside.

If I did try to get something up and running would you be able to give me some tips or let me bounce ideas off you?

Kate

No probs that sounds a great idea although I am in no way an expert in this area it just seemed that there were loads of networking events in London for people yet nothing up here in the midlands. I expect it is the same in Norfolk, loads of green businesses but not one group representing local interests.

Feel free to use any text on our facebook group as a template for your group.

Thanks Kate, that's really kind of you.

I will have to do some research!

Default Network in London?

Great idea. Do you know anyone who is doing this in London? Or might you even be persuaded yourself?

Hi Julie,
There are quite a few ethical networking groups in London. I set the one up in the midlands as there didn't seem to be anything equivalent. Check out the Striding out website as they organise meet ups in London.
