Fantastic, friendly, supportive network! Sam takes networking seriously but doesn’t take herself too seriously. Great fun and support at the same time.
Ready To Grow Your Business With SAM Networking?
SAM Business Expos
My Expos are a little different to all the others.
Firstly, if it says 10am until 3pm. That’s precisely what happens. You can be safe in the knowledge that if you want to rock up at 2.30pm, then you can and we will all still be there, waiting to greet you!
Secondly, there won’t be oodles of the same types of business. Nobody wants to visit an Expo and be faced with 42 web developers or 17 solicitors, and the like. There will never be more than 2 or 3 of the same sector. Makes it interesting for everyone exhibiting and everyone visiting.
You can learn stuff too > There’ll be a bunch of seminars you can attend – keep checking back here for updates, or pop along to Eventbrite.
Networking > Make sure you allow a good few hours, as the 89 exhibitors are across 3 rooms, so you’ll need to make sure you have plenty of business cards and a lot of stamina to do lots of networking!
FREE PARKING > Thought it does get busy. The hotel staff will be available to help you find a space.
FREE BAG TO CARRY ALL YOUR MERCH > Collect this on arrival, along with a brochure explaining what’s what and where you can find everyone.
FOOD > The hotel have a restaurant on the ground floor, so if you want to make a day of it, grab a bite to eat, a coffee or something stronger, to keep you going!
FANCY A STAND TO PROMOTE YOUR BUSINESS?
Then drop me a line at your earliest convenience. Email me at sam@sam-networking.co.uk Of the 89 available, only a handful remain and this is because it’s gained a lot of followers over the last 4 years, making it the ‘go-to’ Expo in the region.
See you there, Sam!

Why Businesses Love Sam Networking
SAM Networking offers a great atmosphere, great people and great referrals. I am glad to be an inaugural member of the group.
Being a part of SAM Networking changed my entire working life! I have attended both the Bradford and Halifax groups over the past 3 years as of 16/01/2024.
When I first started networking, I was absolutely shi**ing my pants and was extremely shy; the groups helped me massively to come out of my shell and interact with other amazing businesses.
Massive thanks to SAM and all my fellow networkers for everything you do for me and my business!
P.S. SAM Networking actually gives you a false sense of security. You go to SAM Networking, have a fabulous experience, but then go networking elsewhere and it’s pants!
I’ve been looking back at 2021 and realised most of the business I’ve given and received has come from being in our local SAM Networking Ltd group. Not only have they given Portel business but they’ve also given me support and friendship, a reason to get up, dress up and turn up every Friday even in the early morning grim winter weather (Welcome to Yorkshire !). It’s always a warm welcome and lots of valuable interaction. Yes 2021 has been the worst of times but its also been the best of times, partly due to Samantha Hartley and her brilliant idea to set up SAM Networking Ltd
Where do we start??? From online to face to face to become sponsors of the expo! We joined SAM online about 2 years ago and have attended pretty much every Tuesday morning since. We then signed up to the Wednesday morning Bradford/Leeds group and have not looked back. Over the last two years we have referred to the other SAM members and have not only built websites for some of the SAM members but been referred to their clients numerous times. Overall we think we have created around 18 websites from the SAM Network. We have been so happy with SAM and the networking that this year we sponsored the Expo and we want to do it again next year. SAM networking isn’t just about business it’s about friendship and helping other businesses and business owners when needed. We will not be going anywhere and thoroughly recommend it to anyone looking to build a positive and supportive business network.
