A fresh approach to business networking called 'Milk No Sugar?' is only
weeks away from its first meeting on Wednesday 9th September, with the single aim of offering a positive platform in which local businesspeople can share, learn and support each other by contributing ideas to help keep local businesses flourishing.

Meeting at the Hop Pole Inn in Bewdley from 11am to 12:30pm every second Wednesday of the month, the new network is the brainchild of local businessman, Nigel Tinsdale, of Tinsdale Investment Management on Load Street in Bewdley who aims to bring together the knowledge of each individual for everyone's benefit, with the result being new ideas, a fresh look at what businesses are doing and how they can create new and enhanced promotional opportunities to generate more profit for their companies. 

Said Nigel: "The idea of 'Milk no Sugar?' is to collectively bring ideas to the table and to learn from each other of what can and has worked for others and how it can be used and adapted to other business models, with the result being greater profitability."

The recession, and despite what is being said about the worst being possibly over, there is much that can be done proactively according to Nigel and his team, and states Nigel, in a recession small companies tend to thrive, doing exceedingly well precisely because they are adaptable with many of them coming out of it the other end far more profitable. "But to achieve this they need to control cash flow and at the same time continue to promote themselves and attract new business."

Open to all local businesses, all meetings are free to attend with no subscription or meeting fees payable with the launch meeting promising to be buzzing with ideas, open, informative and a friendly chat over a cup of tea, coffee or other drink of choice. 

"Every business can learn something new and we all need to generate income to survive. 'Milk No Sugar?' aims to put together a range of businesses in a relaxed and informal setting, to share business skills, acumen and experience for the benefit of all concerned; generating general awareness of who we are, and what we all do."

Nigel recently launched the Milk No Sugar newsletter, designed to dispel financial myths and offering a quick take on the inflationary outlook, specifically chose a midmorning meeting time to allow those who already have commitments at the beginning, middle or the end of the day the opportunity to join. Said Nigel:  "As parent's, Kerry and I share fully our childcare responsibilities, with breakfast and evening meetings tending to be a little prohibitive, just as it can be with single parents, it's not always easy to spare the time, even if the time would be worthwhile business wise."
