Two enterprising businesswomen, Jackie Russell and Bev Giles, are hosting a Q&A forum for business people and not-for-profit organisations in Snells Beach on Tuesday, May 1.
Jackie, who has a marketing and journalism background, says the hour-and-a-half long session will be an opportunity to address topics that are relevant to local business people (men and women) and not-for-profit representatives.
“The format will be interactive and we hope that everyone will take away a couple of gems that they can apply to their own business,” she says.
Bev, who setup a business coaching business late last year after 26 years in banking, says there will be plenty of opportunity to network during the session.
Both women believe that it’s important for local businesses to position themselves for the wave of growth that is predicted for Mahurangi.
“It will be an advantage for businesses to have good support and networks in place before new businesses start arriving in the area,” Bev says.
The forum will include short presentations from Jackie and Bev, as well as KGA accountant Martyn Ecroyd and recruitment and human resources specialist Tanya Gray.
“The presentations will be kept short and relevant – the point of the afternoon is to give business people the chance to talk openly about their issues and identify their needs.”
The You Ask It forum will be held at the Create Campus, in Goodall Road, from 4pm to 5.30pm. Tickets are $20 with all proceeds going to Life Education. Everyone welcome.
