My Expos are a little different to others you may have visited. I have over 60 businesses all under one roof and no more than TWO of any sector – which makes it a much better and more interesting experience for delegates and exhibitors alike!
It’s FREE to attend and always will be, including FREE onsite parking.

At SAM, we’re super social and find that the better we get to know each other, the more the referrals come flying in. We have lots of get togethers throughout the year. After the Business EXPO in April, we celebrate our busy day of connecting by relaxing with a few beers.
Then the Summer party BBQ is getting bigger each year, with more and more members attending. We have a live band (a few members are in different bands), lots of yummy food and lots of refreshments! So far, the weather has been kind too!
Christmas time brings another party. All groups join forces to round off the year and enjoy a Christmas lunch, drinks, fun quizzes and awards for the best attended to name but a few!
We love to support local charities here at SAM and lots of the local ones enjoy FREE membership and visit the meetings on a regular basis. This gives them access to a massive support system and lots of business professionals to lean on and collaborate with.
Many of our members love to undertake their own fund-raising activities too for our charities. We’ve had members throw themselves out of aeroplanes, do wing walks, whilst others took part in a wheelchair race to demonstrate how tough it is to have a disability. This year, one member is undertaking the rather gruelling London marathon! Also, in the depths of Winter, a few members are sleeping rough for 24 to support the homeless.
We have many events too with our charities. Charity balls, golf days, you name it, anything goes and everyone is happy to get involved. Our last charity ball, the Monster Mash, raised over £17,500. How fabulous is that?!
A conglomeration of extremely pleasant, local, very experienced and inspirational professionals (some start-ups too), motivating each other to do business, referring genuine potential business partners to each other through an enormous network of contacts and simply supporting one other with advice and wisdom when things can get tough.
All peppered with a little humour (who wants to attend a miserable business meeting?!) and some members just choosing to have a catch-up over a delicious breakfast/lunch and a cup of fresh coffee. Whatever works for you.
I really enjoy being a member of SAM Networking group. For me, it’s been a great way to meet and connect with likeminded genuine business people who are looking to grow their businesses. As well as receiving real referrals, it has also helped me build up a network of people whom I trust to help my clients. I look forward to every Friday morning.
Sam’s Networking Meetings are a breath of fresh air. I’ve been to many networking groups over the years, and have found most of them a bit too full on & regimented. SAM networking is a much friendlier, relaxed and welcoming atmosphere, where everyone is made to feel part of the ‘Family’. I would recommend it to anyone in business that wants to grow their network in a fun, friendly, yet professional manner.
Networking can be exhausting, pressured and boring. Not at Sam Networking. Yes we are there for business but I don’t think I have ever been to a meeting where there isn’t lots of laughter, positivity and genuinely interesting content. That’s just how Sam runs it and it’s by far the best formula I’ve ever come across.
This fun and friendly group is keen to support each other in a relaxed and unpressured way. Sam is passionate about helping her members succeed and does all she can with her extended network to connect people with others.
I’d been invited a few times to visit SAM Networking and did wonder why it was getting so much attention. I am so glad I took the plunge and visited the Leeds/Bradford group. Within a few months I was giving and getting referrals and earned over £15,000 in my first year. SAM is the heart of what proper networking is all about. You don’t have to be bat sh*t crazy but it helps!
