Yesterday, Beamish Hall Hotel provided a professional backdrop for our latest workshop. It was a productive day defined by practical learning and the straightforward, collaborative spirit that sits at the heart of the Do Business Network.
With the event fully booked, the room brought together a mix of long-standing DBN members and business owners from across the North East. It was encouraging to see such a diverse group of professionals focused on sharing expertise and strengthening their local operations.
Practical Insights and Discussion
The sessions were delivered with clarity, focusing on areas that offer genuine value to modern businesses: Accounting, Digital Marketing, and AI. Our presenters were knowledgeable and direct, cutting through the noise to provide actionable advice.
The value of the day was found in the engagement of the attendees. The question-and-answer sessions allowed for a thorough exploration of these topics, ensuring the information shared was relevant to the specific challenges local business owners face today.
Mutual Support in Practice
One of the most rewarding aspects of DBN is witnessing how members support one another without prompting. Following a session on LinkedIn, DBN member Andy Smith exemplified this community spirit. Andy has offered to bring his camera to our next networking meeting to take professional headshots for any member looking to update their profile.
This initiative highlights the core of the DBN community: a group where members look for ways to help one another. Small adjustments, such as a clear and professional profile photo, can have a significant impact on how a business is perceived.
Next Meeting: Consett Golf Club
We will be continuing these conversations at our next networking meeting on Tuesday 17th February.
We will be meeting at Consett Golf Club, a venue known for its excellent facilities and views. This will be the opportunity to take Andy up on his kind offer for a new LinkedIn headshot and to catch up with the wider network.
Meeting Details:
Date: Tuesday 17th February
Location: Consett Golf Club
Time: 8:30 to 10:30
