Cotswold Networking’s first Bath area meeting hailed a ‘resounding success’

The inaugural meeting of Cotswold Networking Bath & Beyond has been hailed as a ‘resounding success’.

Seventy five networkers joined the group for its meeting at Cumberwell Park Golf Club, Bradford on Avon on February 22.

The keynote address delivered by Stefan Thomas, known as the UK’s Master of Networking and author of ‘Business Networking for Dummies’.

Cotswold Networking, born just over two years ago in the wake of lockdowns, emerged from founder Angela Roberts’ deep desire to reestablish in-person connections and support local small businesses in their recovery journey.

“I was eager to get back out there, meet people face-to-face, and feel the buzz of connecting with great people,” said Angela.

“I also wanted to help small businesses get back on their feet, so after much deliberation and research I decided to start my own networking group and Cotswold Networking was born.”

The venture was launched at the Bell Hotel in Malmesbury in February 2022, and a year later a second group at the King’s Head Hotel in Cirencester was added to the roster. A third launched in September last year at the Nook on Five Rooftop Restaurant in Cheltenham.

Of the Cotswold Networking Bath & Beyond meeting, Angela said: “I’m absolutely thrilled by the fantastic response we’ve received.”
