Meeting was held 22nd October at The Craven Arms Hotel
'Mind the Skills
Gap'
Craven Arms Area Business
Network is a largely informal group of business of all sizes and
types in Craven Arms and the immediate area. We meet once a quarter
for an early evening meeting themed around a subject selected
by the members. Past themes have included Grant Availability and
Internet Marketing. The meetings finish around 7pm with a complimentary
Buffet and a chance to talk and network with other members.
There is no formal joining procedure - if you come to a meeting,
request the email newsletter or register with the discussion forum
then you've already joined!
You're based outside the area? We're not too strict on geography
for the discussion forums and email newsletter but please let
us know if you are coming to the meetings - it helps us plan the
catering.
Purpose of this website, forums and the email
newsletter
to provide continuity of discussions and keep the network
functioning between meetingsto provide a reference archive of
notes of previous talks by outside speakers etc
to enable business people who cannot attend the meetings at
the time they run or simply aren't "meetings people"
to participate
to provide a focus for certain business groups - for example
the visitor and tourist based businesses in the area
to raise the profile of the town and area to a wider audience
and provide a shopfront to people who may travel through the
town and yet not know what goes on here.
