I am thrilled with my experience with SAM’s Networking. I first encountered the group at an event and was genuinely amazed by the warm welcome I received. The invitation to join their online networking community was unexpected but incredibly appreciated. The members are an amazing bunch of people, radiating positive energy, and every interaction is filled with laughter. If you’re in search of exceptional networking, look no further than SAM’s Networking.
Halifax
EVERY THURSDAY | 7.15AM – 9AM
Our Halifax group is held at Cedar Court, as it’s right on the border between Halifax and Huddersfield. Find the Cedar Court at Ainley Top, Lindley Moor Road, Hudderfield HD3 3RH. Literally 2 minutes from the M62, junction 24.
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.

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
VA Swoosh
SAM Networking offers a great atmosphere, great people and great referrals. I am glad to be an inaugural member of the group.
Different-Eyes Limited
A networking group like no other – SAM Networking facilitates genuine connections and stellar referrals between local businesses. As the youngest member of the group, I felt daunted by the whole concept of networking prior to joining, yet since taking the plunge I have attained a large proportion of my business from my fellow SAM networkers, gained confidence in public speaking, and built strong relationships with individuals who are experts in their field. No one week is ever the same at SAM Networking, and if you were looking for a sign to join, this is it!
Did I forget to mention the full English and unlimited coffees every single week?

There once was a lady named Sam, who cheered for each business, oh, damn! With a ‘chuffin’ hell’ she’d exclaim, support them all in the business game. I’m a big fan!
Like most things in life, the leader shapes the group/people/country, etc. to reflect their beliefs. SAM Networking is no exception. Sam has created an atmosphere that is warm, inviting and allows me to say I’m crap at that’. The other businesses in the group are encouraged to be supportive and kind and offer help when and where it is needed. It’s a great laugh and no meeting is complete without Sam saying ‘Chuffin’ Hell’. I learn something every week and my business has benefited enormously from being a member.

What a refreshing group this is – such a lovely mix and the informal style is brilliant. Connections were formed pretty much instantly. As a total plus – Sam is hilarious and has a real passion for the group and helping people.
