Networking practice

Ah, that old business adage - it’s not what you know, it’s who you know. Networking is an important part of life here at Gemini PR agency but it can still be a daunting task to turn up to an event alone.

However, recently Helen, Emma and I went along to an event specifically for young professionals in Nottingham, Network NG. The events are targeted at professionals less than ten years qualified, so everyone you meet is around the same stage in their career.

The event this time was a pub quiz - what a great way to break the ice, a couple of drinks, some good food and the chance to show off our outstanding general knowledge! We had an absolutely great time, which ended a good few hours after the quiz...and made acquaintances, nay friends, with a new network of business folks in Nottingham...watch this space!
