Square Mile Publications Ltd – based in Hadleigh since Feb 2011 – have always been keen to get to know their neighbouring business proprietors, which is why 16 months after setting up shop, they decided to host a monthly Business Meeting for local businesses to attend. The first meeting took place on Wednesday, 25th July at 17.30pm, consisting of an informal one hour discussion after close of business.
With a strong work force who regularly frequent local outlets including Morrisons, Maison Noir, The Castle and many more, Square Mile Publications felt it right that they get to know the businesses they frequent so often that little bit better. This did this by inviting businesses all over Hadleigh to their office – from Lovely Home and Garden to First Choice Windows Ltd and Smile Hairdressers to Masa Restaurant. Paul Gunter and Andrew Shorten – the founders – said ‘the meeting encourages a close knit group of business owners in Hadleigh that welcomes everyone within the Hadleigh community’.
Unsure of just how many businesses would show up, the informal gathering was in fact a real success – making the Hadleigh Business Group an utter delight to take part in. Not only did attendees such as Lovely Home and Garden, Atlantic and Doonamis get some refreshments, but also the opportunity to network with businesses in a similar position, a free book written by founders of Square Mile Publications as well as a mention here on Hadleigh.net.
The Hadleigh Business Meeting will now be held on a monthly basis, the next is due to take place on Wednesday 29th August, at 17.30pm. With a limit of 15 people, there are still a few spaces left, so if you have a business based in Hadleigh and wish to take part in the Hadleigh Business Group contact Rosie Bocking today on 01702 831750 or email rosie@seoessex.co.uk to fix your place – you will not be disappointed.
