Business people from across the Mahurangi district had the opportunity to relax and network at the first Transcon networking event held at Matakana Botanicals earlier this month.
Hosts for the evening were Transcon managing director Blake Noble and Matakana Botanicals owner Danvers Devereux.
Blake says attendance exceeded expectations, and the evening was a great cross-section of local business owners, big and small, who represented many different sectors and specialties.
He says he was prompted to put on the event from a genuine desire to get the local business community together after what had been an extremely challenging time for many.
“It was also a chance to thank those local businesses that support us through the use of our transport services,” he says.
“It also helps when you can host such an event in such a great location, and eat and drink such amazing local produce.”
Transcon plans to hold the networking event three or four times a year. Business owners keen to connect with other business owners in the area will be welcome.
“It’s not strictly a networking event, but more a chance to share stories and just find out what others are up to,” Blake says.
