Network West Cork is a dynamic network for all entrepreneurs, owner/managers and business people of West Cork. Business networking is a vital marketing tool. Networking allows business people to build relationships and generate new business opportunities. It is an exceptionally cost-effective way of promoting your business, more powerful and sustaining than any advertising or public relations efforts. Networking has become an essential skill for growing a business. Since 2007, the West Cork Enterprise Board has been running a Small Business Network and a Women in Business Network. These Networks have been re-branded and re-launched as Network West Cork - Business to Business.

We will hold a number of Networking Events throughout the year including Women in Business Events. The events are free of charge and the only thing we ask of you, is to bring yourself and your business cards. The main objective at each meeting is NETWORKING. We facilitate you to network through organised promotional opportunities and activities. Come along to one of our up-coming events to see what you can gain for both you and your business by networking.

This is a women in business networking event with keynote speaker Therese Ryan, Renewal Consultants, work performance and wellbeing specialist. Therese will speak to our women in business about "getting the balance right". Discover what tools to use when managing your business as well as your life outside of work. It can be a juggling act and Therse will make it seem easier than it can appear. The event will also focus on networking and you will get an opportunity to network and discuss your work/life balance during an open forum.
