I’ve successfully completed of mini marathon of events representing Grapevine and sharing the news of our recent transition to employee ownership.
Event 1
It kicked off yesterday morning at Mo Humphries‘ Business Futures event at Foundry in Poole. Some familiar faces, some new. Great to hear from everyone about how business is going for them, and what they see as the opportunities and threats ahead.
Event 2
For the 2nd stop on my two day jaunt, I finally made it to one of Jackie Goddard‘s ‘Speak Like a Speaker Club’ events. These are well worth going along to if you’re working on a talk, or want to improve your public speaking skills.
In this photo we’re holding a mock podcast interview for a chap who joined us because his own event had been cancelled. Slightly surreal, and does look a bit like an intervention of some sort, but who knows, perhaps we made a friend for life?
Event 3
Here’s my colleagues Paul and James this morning at the Dorset Chamber Business Expo. I stopped by for the first couple of hours to help them sharing details about our managed support services for IT & communications, and some Grapevine branded sweets ofc!
Event 4
YATM does The Harrington Club in Bath. Thanks Catherine and Mark for the ‘#winning’ slot to speak to everyone about Grapevine becoming employee owned. I forgot to take any other photos, so here’s my end-of-marathon celebratory half.
