West Cork companies run through speed networking

On a hot summer’s balmy evening at Inchydoney Lodge & Spa Hotel in Clonakilty business people were far from thinking about the weather as they networked their way through the evening. This was the scene at the Network West Cork speed networking event at Inchydoney as over 70 entrepreneurs, start-up companies as well as established businesses reaped the benefits of speed networking on Thursday 17th June.

The event was facilitated by Fergal O’Connor, Synergy BDS in Limerick. Fergal commented: “The enthusiasm and energy that all the clients displayed is testament to the fact that business people in West Cork are taking their futures into their hands, making things happen, creating new opportunities and pro-actively seeking out new business. In the tough times that we are now in, it is this drive, dedication and commitment that will ensure businesses in West Cork not only survive but indeed thrive, over the coming years".

Andrew Kingston owner/manager of Arkutech - e-business consultancy & web design in Bandon was at the event and commented: "The speed networking provided a great opportunity to meet many other small business owners in the area. I came away with business cards from more than 20 people I had never met before and I have no doubt I will work with some of these people in the future - whether as new clients, service providers or business partners. The event was very well organized and is definitely something I would like to see happen again in the not too distant future."

Network West Cork is funded and managed by the West Cork Enterprise Board and welcomes small to medium sized West Cork businesses from all sectors, as well as start up businesses and entrepreneurs.   It is an opportunity to network and promote your business.  Check our website for up-coming networking events: www.wceb.ie
