Dear      


This month we focus on collaboration and working together as a community of businesses and events. Not  only does ENC provide business networking events there are more than eight other different business networking groups in the area that we are aware of. The value of sharing information about your business to others is key to growing your networks and customer base. We provide local news to local businesses. We are not the experts on everything, but we know the experts who are. 


Kind regards,

Heather Warwick, CEO

How can collaboration grow your business? Find out from Connect North Canterbury - sponsors of the first ENC Networking Function of the year at Waipara Hills Winery.
