Hospice hosts inspiring business network event
Businesses across Tameside came together at Willow Wood Hospice for an inspiring evening of networking.
Greater Manchester Business Growth Hub held its latest BGH Match event at the Hospice in Ashton-under-Lyne last Thursday (22nd February).
The free business connector network provides businesses across the region with opportunities to create new contacts and share ideas.
Positive conversations filled the room at the Hospice, where there was a strong turnout and lots of new connections made.
Insightful presentations were delivered by Sam Duncan, Willow Wood Hospice’s Director of Fundraising and Communications; Nick Shepherd, Business Development and Partnerships Manager at GM Business Growth Hub; and Councillor Jack Naylor, Tameside Council’s Executive Member for Inclusive Growth, Business and Employment.
Other representatives from GM Business Growth Hub and Tameside Council were also on hand to offer advice about fully-funded support available to businesses.
People in attendance also entered a charity raffle which helped to raise funds for the Hospice.
Sam Duncan said: “It was a pleasure to welcome everyone to Willow Wood Hospice for a very productive evening of networking. I’m always proud to talk about our vital work.
“As an organisation, we recognise the importance of supporting local businesses of all sizes and developing longstanding partnerships for the benefit of our patients, staff and volunteers.
“Our corporate partners play a crucial role in enabling us to continue to care for local people, and those closest to them.”
