Networking group set to celebrate the best of business

Business group The Network has launched its own business awards with the prizes to be handed out next February.

The Network was originally founded in April 2011, by two mums, as a way of a group of helping a group women who had become friends through an Enterprising Mums group to keep in touch.

The demand was such that over time the body was open to all women in business in South Yorkshire.

A spokeswoman said of the awards: “This is the perfect opportunity to celebrate all that is great about business in South Yorkshire,.

“No matter how big or small your company, it is an opportunity to let your hair down and celebrate.”

The Network offers a relaxed approach to networking, no formal time restraints, just a quick round the room introduction and then informal chatting over refreshments.

It is open to anyone from any sector of business, and does not have restraints on one per sector, and is attend currently by sole traders, small businesses, franchisees and representative people from multinational companies.

The Network's Great South Yorkshire Business Awards will be held at the Royal Victoria Holiday Inn in Sheffield on February 8, 2013.
