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.
Online
EVERY TUESDAY | 8AM – 9AM
This group is free to attend and meets every Tuesday between 8am and 9am on Zoom.
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
MCLAREN&Co.
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!
Reonex IT and Telecoms
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
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!
Sense of Numbers and UW Partner
SAM Networking offers a great atmosphere, great people and great referrals. I am glad to be an inaugural member of the group.
