How many members on here own local businesses in Stafford?
We are just about to open a new shop in stafford and I'd love to put together some sort of directory of local people who own businesses, support each other, advertise for each other etc
Look forward to hearing from some of you!

There are many local business groups who get together and meet up - most of them very early breakfast clubs. It is a great way of gathering contacts from the local area.

If you would like to be referred, bearing in mind there are fees involved, feel free to send me a PM with some details and I can take it from there.

Hi,
thanks very much for your reply. Joining fee paying groups isnt really the kind of thing I had in mind but thanks anyway. I'm talking about good old fashioned camaraderie, helping each other out, giving each other discounts, advertising for each other, basically just sticking together and working together to get customers to use local business people.

It was called Wild Child before we had it. not sure about before then.

So as a newbie, dont really know who you all are. Those of you who own local businesses - who are you? Which business? That's if you dont mind of course :)
I'm Jane and my partner is Ade - hence Jade!

On a serious note, I would be up for this for pushing Lawton Soul Photography, I'm less proactive at prospecting at the moment than I ever thought possible. I would also be interested in a business for business trading - 1 hour of your time = one hour of my time etc.

I set up a business breakfast group a few years ago based on a well-known business breakfast group.

Anyway - it worked well for a few years, but I've moved on now and think it would be a fantastic idea to just have a very informal gathering in a foodists.

I'll pop into Pie and Ale today and have a word if the fellow is in!

Hmm! Could be splendid!
