"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 "

The women there were really nice and already Anne of Virtual Nimble Fingers is helping me (she has helped me with my 60 seconds) so just wait for the next meeting!

"THANK YOU! I just wanted to take a moment to say how smashing I think your organisation and input to todays conference was. 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. I completed my mini treatments and have met some wonderful women today and thank you again. Plus...Claire Young- how inspiring!"

"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."

"I just wanted to say very well done for a very successful day yesterday. I cannot begin to imagine all the hard work that you must have put into it, but it was much appreciated. You must have got such a buzz seeing so many successful ladies there, all under one roof, and all there because of you. Congratulations. Look forward to seeing you soon."
Denny Gaskell www.metamorphosisstyle.co.uk/

"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."
Paola Bagnall www.innerpower.co.uk

"I just wanted to say what a great time I had at the 1230 AOB today. It seemed to be much better organised than last year and I just wanted to say a big thank you and to you and your team for all the hard work you all put in to make it a resounding success. The speakers were all so interesting and the speed networking was a much more pleasant experience this year. I came away feeling really empowered. Thank you"
Paola Bagnall www.innerpower.co.uk

"I first came across Fiona Coppard of Electra Jewellery last autumn when I attended a fund raising coffee morning, and was highly impressed with her jewellery, all reasonably priced together with the handbags and clothes for sale, I am pleased to say I was able to purchase quite a few presents from her collection. Fiona has a passion for jewellery and it shows in the selection she has for sale."

They are always quick in returning messages and putting information onto the website. 1230 is a fun and friendly way of networking."
Amanda Walker-Harding www.theskinandlaserclinic.co.uk

"I attended Susie Heath's discussion on August 21st and came out feeling inspired, refreshed and a woman! I had not felt so uplifted like this in quite a long time. Susie addressed her audience intelligently and made them understand the importance of being connected to the divine female energy which is so important and perhpas a key factor of our happiness in a man's world. Thank you Susie for having joined us and thank you to Caroline Heward for having organised this wonderful talk. Kindest regards Nathalie Kennedy "

"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! Mark Burgess Area Director Bromley Business Centre"

"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!"

"Thanks so much Jackie for an excellent teleconference training session on the 1230 website last week. It was both informative and enjoyable, and really motivated me to get going, put my profile up and even maybe submit a blog or two. If any members haven't yet taken advantage of this free training then do so, it's well worth it."

"Thank you to Beverley and all the ladies who were so welcoming at Sevenoaks today. There were some lively discussions following the 60 seconds. I hope to see some of you at 1230 Dartford soon."

"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. "

So, What Happens at Your Meetings?

Lots!

Networking is an essential part of business life and it should be part of any marketing strategy, but it does take effort and commitment from you too! Regular attendance makes business networking work.

1230 TWC meetings are extremely enjoyable opportunities to socialise with other inspiring, like-minded business women, and to Grow Your Business!

On entering the venue you’ll be greeted by the 1230 TWC Manager or Host and directed to the registration point.

You’ll then be introduced to someone of your choice and/or an existing member of 1230 TWC.

The meetings are always a lively mix of women with a diverse mix of businesses. Everyone has the opportunity to present a 1 minute talk, and we like to encourage you to think about what you offer, rather than what you do. For example, instead of saying "I am an IT training consultant" say "I'm able to save people time in using their computers". There is also an up-to-date business topic of conversation.

Bring plenty of business cards or flyers. The main focus of the meetings is to grow our businesses - we are all there for the same purpose. It is also about seeing how we can help each other.

Sometimes the meetings have additional interest with guest speakers. If this is something you would like to do, or have a suggestion, please speak to the 1230 TWC Host or contact 1230 TWC Head Office.

Standing Orders and payment on-line are available to help you avoid booking charges.

We are very pleased to be continually complimented on the warm welcome, vibrancy and positive attitude extended to all who attend our networking meetings and events.

We look forward to welcoming you!
