Business Cornwall’s Morveth Ward keeps us up to date on the networking scene Though I shouldn’t generalise, last month felt like a back to work month, in line with the school summer holidays ending, where the beach fun diminishes and the work rate rises once again – the email to out of office ratio gets much better. Not saying this is a bad thing either, with many of us feeling rebooted and raring to go. Plenty of events too – some of the highlights for me included the Acceleration Through Innovation launch (part 2 of 2, the first being at Lanhydrock Hotel and Golf Course) at Penwith College where attendees were informed about the new thre- year project led by the University of Plymouth which aims to deliver high value, high impact interventions and provide intensive support to businesses who are ‘innovation ready’. Hall For Cornwall Networks Club hosted the most emotional and moving event yet where guest speaker Melissa Mead from the UK Sepsis Trust told us about her tragic loss while highlighting the acute dangers of sepsis. A truly inspirational woman who is clearly making a huge impact in raising awareness of this ‘silent killer’. At the time of writing this I am looking forward to another Future Focus event as well as The Samphire Club’s Summer Party which is bound to plenty of fun. I will report
back in the next issue. October has plenty in store, including Newquay Business Week which promises a packed schedule featuring informative and inspirational sessions to help businesses grow, and showcase Newquay as a thriving place to do business. Created and delivered by Newquay BID, the week is for every business type, from one man bands to web designers working from home, inventors, retailers, attractions, accommodation providers or larger businesses with many employees. Sessions will be covering marketing, ecommerce, customer service, tourism in Cornwall, funding, social media, business growth, digital content, sustainability, branding, a bit of brain science with a side of yoga and much more. The next TEDxTruro event, ‘Beyond Barriers’ will be taking place on October 27 at Truro College and pledges to entertain, challenge and inspire. No doubt this will be highly popular and rightly so, I’m sure.
