What members and guests say
"Sharon runs a thoroughly professional outfit at The Business Network - but I don't mean professional as in stuffy, austere and pressured. Rather, it has been from the first an extremely welcoming environment where everyone's knowledge and expertise is respected and the emphasis is on quality relationships. As the meetings occur regularly (accompanied by some fine food and in some beautiful locations) we get to, in Sharon's words "know, like and trust" each other - surely a prerequisite for any sort of friendship or business relationship to blossom. I particularly like the way Sharon manages to make everyone feel included - always with half an eye on the room to make sure of this. If Carlsberg did hostesses...... It's lovely to talk business in such a convivial environment and we have already formed some valuable connections which will drive our business forward - almost all of these would not have occurred in the normal course of events so it's a definite win-win situation. Follow-up from Sharon is also excellent - it's clear she takes great pride in the service she provides. Thank you."

"Having run my own network club in Poole, I appreciate the hard work and effort that goes into running a monthly networking lunch. However, Sharon's dedication, organisational and hosting skills really make attending her monthly Business Network lunches a pleasure. Her professional approach ensures a great mix of decision makers, carefully considered table plans and interesting seminars and each lunch has a relaxed atmosphere. I can't recommend Sharon and Business Network South Herts enough if you are looking to network with like-minded professionals and 'do business'."
