Back at Beamish Museum: Join Us at The Drovers Tavern This October
We are excited to announce that our networking meeting on Tuesday 20th October will see us returning to Beamish Museum. These meetings are always a highlight in the Do Business Network calendar, and this upcoming session promises to be particularly special as we gather at one of the museum's newest exhibits in the 1820s Landscape: The Drovers Tavern.
To add a bit of historical context to our morning, a member of Beamish staff will be sharing insights about the story of droving and how local farmers droving their cattle to market used taverns similar to the Drover's Tavern in Beamish's Georgian area as a vital rest stop. Alongside the business discussions, there will also be live pottery demonstrations taking place out in the courtyard, showcasing the traditional skills of an 1820s potter. It is a brilliant, atmospheric backdrop for a morning of professional networking.
Member Spotlight: Angela Blake from Y19 Management
Our guest speaker for the morning is Angela Blake from Y19 Management. Taking the spotlight, Angela will be giving us a hands-on, practical look at how she helps businesses thrive. She will be introducing her interactive 'Business MOT'—an instinctive, quick-look snapshot designed to pinpoint what’s working well in your business and what feels a bit wobbly. It promises to be an engaging session, followed by an overview of Y19 Management and how Angela supports local business owners.
