We are calling them Business Thursdays and, as with their Smart Thursday predecessor, we are inviting speakers to address a topical brief from their own professional perspective.

Building on the success of the Smart Thursday Business Link high growth networking and learning group, we felt that with demand for more meetings and organisational improvements Simon Dye at Chartered Institute of Marketing came up with the idea of Business Thursday and will manage the website and marketing, the University of Gloucestershire will provide support via GEN and will provide the venue, Howard Davis of Price Davis are our sponsoring bookkeepers and Michael Howes of Pilot Cottage is taking care of the event management and content.

We would love to have more local partnerships and it would be great if ……. you could join us too! Perhaps you could let me know if this might be of interest?

Business Thursday- the growing companies network!
