SAM Business Expos
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.
WANT TO BE ONE OF 65 BUSINESS EXHIBITING? Then drop Sam a line at sam@sam-networking.co.uk for details on cost, expected traffic, etc.
SAM
Socials
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!
SAM
Charity
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?!
Check Out Our Members
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.
Why Businesses Love Sam Networking
MINT HR
SAM Networking is a brilliant collection of local business people helping them to develop their own companies, supporting others to grow theirs, making a difference in the world and having loads of fun along the way.
Nestbox Financial Planning
The SAM Networking group has definitely helped grow my business over the last few years. The mix of genuine business professionals is refreshing and I can whole-heartedly say each referral is genuine.
Athena Media
I was a little networked out when I joined SAM networking as all seemed very ‘samey’. Oh not SAM Networking!! There is such energy in the room when you walk in, people say Hi to you and welcome you, especially Sam. It’s fun, wacky and hilarious and really helps you to get to know the people behind the businesses. I had to join the online meeting when I relocated and was worried it wouldn’t be the same as the in-person meetings – how wrong was I !! Still high energy, fun and hilarious – where has SAM networking been all my life? I love SAM networking and it is now the only one I do. I highly recommend you come and join.
Not Just Travel
Having attended other more regimented business networking groups in the past, I feel that Sam has developed a great mix between business focus and enjoying each other’s company with like- minded people. I would urge you to give it a try.
