Where can I network?
There are many opportunities to make new business contacts, swap tips and get advice at networking events in Hoddesdon, Ware and Hertford.
Why Not join Team HB networking?
HB Accountants organise a Quarterly Ladies Business Networking Lunch and our next meeting is on Thursday 30th April from midday – the venue is Paradise Wildlife Park.
Tickets for a 2 course meal, refreshments at the chance to network with between 40-50 women are £25 and because attendance is at an all-time high, we are, for the first time, offering you the opportunity to take a stand around the room to display your promo, services or products – get in touch if you would be interested in this and Vicki can give you all the details and prices.
As a special offer for the HB networking meeting, Paradise Wildlife Park is offering discounted entry after the event for a £6 donation into the charity pot. The usual price is £21.50 so why not take advantage and spend the afternoon enjoying their newest attractions World of Dinosaurs, Lion Pride Lands and Land of Tigers
