​Should I do networking? I am not great at mingling

Absolutely!
 
Whether you’re a small start-up business or an established company looking to increase your visibility, it’s important to spread the word about what you do, the service you provide and the products you sell. You can do this in a variety of ways, such as online and print. However, you can't beat meeting people face-to-face. 
 
Networking is a way of introducing your company to other business owners. You never know, what they do that might be of interest to you.
 
There are many different networking groups and each one has their own style. Perfect Layout are members of the Havering Chamber of Commerce and Industry (HCCI). It's a friendly group and each month it has a breakfast meeting. Within each meeting there is a talk/presentation given by two members, as well as the opportunity to network with other members and guests.
 
HCCI also organises its annual business showcase. (In fact, this is where the start of our networking journey began!)
 
Come and join us. We will be exhibiting at the Havering Chamber of Commerce Business Showcase 2018. It takes place on Monday 1st October 6.30pm-9.00pm at the Queens Theatre, Hornchurch.
