I hope that everyone had a fantastic May and are gearing up for the upcoming summer months. With Euro 2024 on the horizon, it promises to be an exciting time for football fans, including myself. I'll be cheering on England and eagerly awaiting the results of my husband's office sweepstake to see who else I'll be supporting!
Despite a setback with an allergic reaction to an antihistamine in the first week of May, I managed to power through and have a busy and productive month.
Networking Highlights
SBS Small Business Sunday Regional Business Bootcamp – 13th May
On the 13th of May, I had the pleasure of attending the SBS Small Business Sunday Regional Business Bootcamp at the Natwest Conference Centre in London. It was a fantastic and informative day, made even better by the surprise appearance of Theo Paphitis for a fireside chat. The talks by Francesca Gubbay , Darryl Partridge from Google Digital, and Stewart Smith from Natwest were enlightening and have been putting what what I learned to good use. It was also wonderful to connect with both new and familiar faces.
The Big Business Event – 16th May
I had a lovely time attending The Big Business Event at Harlaxton Manor and very well organised by Deborah Firmstone and Hannah Tomlinson . The venue was gorgeous, and I attended a great talk by Kaffy Rice-Oxley on Voice Confidence, as well as engaging in the matrix networking. It was fantastic to meet new connections and reconnect with existing ones.

Rutland Business Network – 28th May
As always, the Rutland Business Network meeting was fantastic. We enjoyed a great talk (and magic!) from Ricky Locke

Upcoming Networking
I'm looking forward to the Bourne in Business event tomorrow, 4th June, where Harry Whinney will speak about the importance of video for business. Having heard him speak previously at Rutland, I'm excited to hear him again on this topic.
I am also finalising some other events and will post updates once they are confirmed.
On a personal note, I'm thrilled to be reuniting with Karen, an old friend from California whom I haven't seen in 25 years. We've been friends for 40 years, and she is one of the chaperones for her daughter and other high school graduates on a UK tour. It will be lovely to catch up with her in London late June and join them for some sightseeing. I’m sure she’ll notice some big changes in the city since she was last here in 1996.
Reminders
Father's Day is on 16th June. Don't forget to celebrate the special dads in your life!
Wishing you all a wonderful June!
