Notworking Networking

We’re not spilling all the beans just yet, but here’s a sneak peek at what’s brewing this year Events in Exeter, Bristol, Plymouth AND London (although this last one is a private event, we’re super-duper excited to be involved) We’re at Business Fest South West in April - lots of things up our sleeves for this one… The NOTTY’s will be back for 2025, of course We’re very excited to kick it up another notch this year. Brimming with ideas and ways to provide you with the best experiences possible. 2025 is going to be fun and we’re just getting started. Stay tuned for the details. Trust us, you won’t want to miss this. #NotworkingNetworking #NetworkingEvents #ProfessionalNetworking #BusinessConnections

The secret to great networking? Stop networking. (At least the way everyone else is doing it.) Here’s a quick list of how we like to network, or rather, how to NOTWORK… 1. Leave your business cards at home 2. Leave your elevator pitch on your website 3. Stay humble, stay curious, this isn’t the ‘you’ show 4. Approach events with the goal of meeting new people, not securing new clients 5. Have f***ing fun This is supposed to be fun right? Don’t make networking a chore - come NOTWORK with us! #NotworkingNetworking #NetworkingEvents #ProfessionalNetworking #BusinessConnections #NetworkBuilding

In the year of AI I thought it was apt to ask Chat GPT for a Christmas poem. So here goes: Roses are red, mistletoe’s near, 2024’s been a ride - we’re so glad you’re here! The stockings are hung, the tree’s full of cheer, But we all know the real fun starts here. As we trim the tree and turn down the lights, Here’s to more magic and unforgettable nights. So here’s to 2025, let’s turn up the heat, Merry Christmas, Happy New Year - now isn’t that sweet? Wishing you all a lovely Christmas season, however you’re choosing to spend your time off, and we will see you in the new year!

We’re always full of surprises - and Taz’s wall is no exception! If you were at the NOTTY’s (we promise this is the last time we’ll mention it this year!), you were treated to something truly special - St Austell Brewery’s new Proper Job IPA 0.5% popping through the foliage. It was interactive, creative, and we’re so pleased it was such a hit! A brilliant idea with exceptional execution and we wouldn’t expect anything less from our Taz. We couldn’t be prouder of her and her incredible creation and new venture: Beyond the Wall Ltd If you’re planning an event and want to add some extra sparkle, reach out to Tasmin or follow Beyond the Wall to chat about how this showstopper can wow your guests and make it unforgettable. https://lnkd.in/ePN4A9pd #EventPlanning #LivingWall #InteractiveDesign #BeyondTheWall

We’re thrilled to announce that over £3,000 was raised for Hospiscare at the NOTTY’S last month! A massive thank you to everyone who donated and supported this brilliant cause. Hospiscare is a local independent charity doing incredible work to support patients and families in our community. They rely on fundraising to keep going, so if you’re in business and haven’t aligned with a charity yet, a chat with Sarah Smith is a great place to start!

We’ve been feeling a little guilty… At the NOTTY’S last month, Greendale Group won our Hospitality Hero award but unfortunately were unable to make the event. We visited them privately to present to them their award and wanted to get a few words that we could broadcast on the night. The video we showed was a sped up version of the original, in the interest of teasing about it being a quick award, however we wanted to give Greendale the opportunity to bask in the glory that they weren’t able to on the day. So here is the uncut, original version to give our Hospitality Hero their time to shine. Congratulations on the win! Greendale Farm Shop #NottysAwards #Nottys2024 #NetworkingAwards

Anyone fancy a nice, relaxed stroll in the sun? That’s not what we’re offering, mostly because we can’t guarantee the sun, but what we can guarantee is beautiful scenery and excellent company. What we can also be sure of is we’ve got the best guide going, Keith Lambeth, who is going to ensure we don’t get lost while showing us some gorgeous spots. He’ll also be enlightening us on some of the history our Dartmoor is steeped in. So what’s the deal? NOTWORKING DAY WALKING The Big One The longest walk on the shortest day… 7am to 7pm on Saturday 21st December The aim is to cover 30 miles but don’t worry! We’ve planned in some bailout points for those who feel the need or want to extract themselves.

URGENT: We've lost Chris If you were at the NOTTY'S and saw anything that might be of use to us, let us know! We had 4 cardboard cut-outs of our dear Chris that were stolen, 2 have since been located but we are still missing 2. If you recognise any from the image below or had any involvement in the kidnapping of Chris, please help to satisfy our curiosity and get in touch (ideally with pictures). Thank-you for your attention, now back to regularly scheduled programming. #NotworkingNetworking #NetworkingEvents #ProfessionalNetworking

Stop what you're doing and give this fabulous five a round of applause. Our judges, who’ve tackled the tough task of choosing the very best: Andrew Jackson, Adel Jones, Nina Sarlaka, Dr Sally Basker, and David Gough. They’ve waded through nominations with the patience of saints and the precision of detectives, carefully debating each entry, driven by the desire to give real recognition to those who deserve it. Their mission? To celebrate the trailblazers, innovators, and hard grafters that make our business community extraordinary. Their hard work isn’t just about handing out trophies—it’s about shining a light on innovation, hard work, and success stories that inspire us all. We can’t thank them enough for their time, expertise, and enthusiasm in making these awards truly special! #NottysAwards #Nottys2024 #NetworkingAwards #BusinessAwards

We're not done with Glenn's rap just yet. Here is a little peak behind the scenes, while we here are still riding the NOTTY'S high. We can't quite get over the volume of support and kind words that we've received from the event from both those who came along and those who couldn't make it, so thank you! Thank you to IT Champion Ltd for coming along for the ride and especially to Glenn for providing us with our theme song. Keep your eyes peeled for what we've got in the works for next year...
