"I was lucky enough to win a belated business card draw prize after the recent 1230 TWC Annual Conference. Azmina Jiwa, who is a Holistic Happiness Consultant and a licensed trainer for 'Feel the fear and do it anyway' book by Dr Susan Jeffers, kindly donated a prize to attend an all-day workshop. I am really lookimg forward to attending it this Saturday, at Azmina's beautiful home. When Azmina learnt what I do for a living (property styling), she asked if I could help her because she hadn't changed some things in her house for sometime. This is right up my street! I am delighted to say that we are currently working together on her home and it will be even more stunning when I have finished it. Azmina is a delight to work with and this just has to be exactly what networking is all about! I am also hopeful that I can send some of the building works required to Ed Coppard (Fiona's husband-Electra Jewellery). His work is excellent and he comes highly recommended."

"Re Sevenoaks Meeting Tuesday 15th July. I thought today's meeting was informal, friendly and a warm relaxing atmosphere. There was a real 'buzz' and fantastic to see people 'connecting' and being very supportive of each other. It was good to see familiar friendly faces, as well as meeting new contacts. I found it to be informative, fun, and held in a great venue with fabulous food and service. Looking forward to the next one! Thank you Beverley Caroline The Wright Foot Forward "

I think you have this knack to making things look easy and we all know that an event like today probably had you kept awake at night.

"Well done to Jackie and Penny and everyone involved in organising the day in Bromley, including the sponsors - Any Other Business - 17th March 2009. The day included inspirational speakers, food, drink, speed networking, handbags and goody bags - what more could a girl ask for? "
Paula Pomeroy www.pingpom.co.uk

"What do you get when you have 100 women, over 30 exhibition stands, an inspirational keynote speaker and a couple of enlightening workshops? A truly amazing and motivating day. Starting the day off with a rapid round of speed networking was an excellent idea, the activity in the room was almost electrifying and following that with Claire Young's story was ideal. Mind you, no time to rest, it was exhausting just listening to her fortitude, energy and enthusiasm. The Amazing Women's Panel were just that - truly amazing. Their individual stories leading to success were raw, expressive and genuine. Great examples of how women overcome adversity, learn from experience and achieve great things. As for the workshops, both Pauline and Karen are passionate about their subjects and sharing their knowledge with an interested audience was captivating and very informative. I am sure there will be a lot of tweets about #1230 too! All in all it was a worthwhile day, and one I enjoyed being part of. I met some very interesting women working in different businesses, and came away with a great goody bag! Thank you. Lynn Tulip, Assessment 4 Potential."

"Just wanted to say a big THANK YOU to Jackie Groundsell for her excellent workshop on "Tabs" before the Beckenham meeting. I use "Word" a great deal and never knew about all the things that you could do with Tabs. If you missed this workshop and Jackie does it again I would really recommend that you go along with your laptop. Jackie's teaching is clear and easy to follow. She is also very patient, as I was not the best student since I kept insisting on writing notes during her demos! Notes are important to me to help me recall and the next day when I went through my lesson I was able to do everything perfectly again. This is one of the most important qualities of a good teacher, in that the student can do the work on their own."

"I used fellow member, Annette Heywoods Company, Kingswood Specialist Cleaning (www.kingswoodecocleaning.com) to sort out all my hedges in my garden. I have a large number of hedges and it turned out to be a two day job. I have to say the work was carried out so efficiently and by friendly workers for a very reasonable price. The thing that impressed me the most was that all the trimmings were cleared up so I could not even find a twig from the hedges! This was amazing as other people i have used have left all the hedge cuttings over the plants in the flower beds, the paths and lawns. I will certainly use them again."

"Once again, it's been a pleasure to work with 1230 on another Women in Business event in Bromley. Last week's 1230 AOB? event exceeded our expectations with the high calibre of speakers and introduced NatWest and our colleagues in Lombard, WorldPay and Mentor to more inspiring and motivated Bromley business women. The largest speednetworking session in Bromley, if not the UK, was certainly a challenge and another great opportunity to speak to more successful business women during the day.' With Nat West I'm delighted to continue working in association with 1230 The Women's Company to the benefit of local business women. Congratulations on another great event!

"I was an early 1230 member before moving to France so I was unable to continue my membership. Even so, 1230 were fantastic when I needed to find a French PR consultant. Thanks to the network I found one very quickly. Four years on and guess what? A similar need has arisen. The original person I found is not contactable so I got back in touch with 1230. Wow! I am truly impressed by the new website and how much the group has grown. I realised how much I’ve missed being part of the network with its tremendous opportunities for promoting a business so I’ve rejoined. Even though I won’t be able to attend face to face meetings, the 1230 website will be a great place to network and promote my business. Thank you 1230, it’s great to be back - watch this space from France!"

"I joined 1230 on 1 April, but I was no fool!
Since joining I have had good advice from Val Apps of TasQuotus business coaching, changed my utilities with Karen Young at Utilities Warehouse,had my jewellery photographed by Charlotte Emery at S.E.A Photography, have been booked for Events by some of the women and have been given some really good contacts.
Jackie Groundsell has been very supportive with ideas and suggestions.
So I would say you really should join 1230 — it will change your business!

"What a marvellous meeting at 1230 Woking this week (16th July 2008) thank you Fiona. Sue Thorn gave an excellent talk on coaching and identified some of the obstacles that we have a tendency to put in place when we are stretched beyond our comfort zone. Well done Sue, I know many of the ladies at the meeting, including myself will be thinking hard about what they can do differently. "
