I really must get out more!.... does anyone know of/attend any good business networking events around the West Mids - Solihull area ideally but open to suggestions. I've never really got into such things but I feel I should make the effort! Opinions welcome.

Thanks

Chris

I can't think of any.
Are they specific to any certain industry?

All i can think of it trying to track down some fund raising dinners and see who else turns up.

I go to a few occasionally - BNI at Hogarths in Dorridge, a different BNI at the Village Hotel in Shirley, Solihull Chamber of Commerce early birds (now at the Royal Oak in Hockley Heath) and I know the FSB is doing breakfast events too. All 7.00am starts... frown

Yes. Keep an eye out for Midlands Business insider magazine. They do regular breakfast events which you can network/ go to talks.

Its one we use quite a lot. Also have a look in the business pages of the local paper- note who has had events, and ask to be included on their mailing lists. You should get invited to future events this way
