Uttoxeter Business Network Celebrates 1st Birthday

Uttoxeter Business Network: Heath House Conference Centre and Business Hub
This week, members of the Uttoxeter Business Network (UBN) celebrated the business network’s first Birthday. This milestone was celebrated with a breakfast networking event which was fully booked. The speaker was David Alexander from Alexander Accountancy in Burton who gave an insightful workshop about the power of vision and business planning.

The Uttoxeter Business Network was set up a year ago to provide networking opportunities for businesses from Uttoxeter and the surrounding area. Networking is a valuable way of promoting a business, raising brand awareness and building long term relationships which are mutually beneficial. The group meets fortnightly on Tuesday mornings at Heath House Conference Centre in Uttoxeter.
