Networking at Wild Rose
July 24th, 2008 by julieEarlier this week Make Your Mark hosted a women’s only Ambassador Event at Wild Rose Florist in Hartlepool.
Our thanks to Natalie Mullen for proving such a lovely venue. The shop smelt and looked GORGEOUS! Nathalie is a successful young entrepreneur and now employs four people. She has always wanted her own florists and got her first break by recommendation and feels that her business has grown on recommendations.
There was some great networking going on at the event and we were pleased that our guests left with some useful new contacts.
We played a flower related game to get to know each other a little better. We found out that we have 2 nettles in the office as well as a daffodil and a white delphinium, but can you guess who is who? Careful now…….
Guests (and flowers!) at the event included:
Rachel Powell, Fashion Network Limited, ethical fashion designer
Yvette Sheeky, Penelopes Pitstops Ltd, female friendly vehicle maintenance, MOT and repair
Maureen Colohan, Unique Solutions, providing approaches to support key individuals in business through times of stress or difficulty.
Claire Kruman & Becky Lambton, Orchid Marketing Ltd, marketing and event management consultants.
Melanie Rutherford, Melanie Rutherford Enterprises, dance instructor
……Marigolds, lost of roses, ivy, daisies, a yucca tree, a freesia and a water lily, nettles, a daffodil and a white delphinium … but I’m still not saying who is who!
I’m sure my colleagues would agree that it is inspiring to see local women making their ideas happen and setting up their own ventures.
