I may have been dangling by the thinnest of threads, but that guttural, primal instinct to leap into action, call out abhorrent behaviour, and protect my child came out with a force so strong it even took me by surprise.

𝗜 𝘄𝗮𝘀 𝗯𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝘂𝗽 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝗲 𝗾𝘂𝗶𝗲𝘁.

Well, this good little girl grew up.
The fifty-year-old me is still learning to speak up for herself.

But the mother in me will fight like hell for her children.

And I have made damn sure to raise them with the confidence and courage to speak out when somebody crosses boundaries they had no business crossing.

Referrals.
Ideas.
Support.

One thing I hear time and time again?

I wish I’d joined sooner.

Because the right room can change so much.

Fresh perspective.
Better conversations.
New opportunities.
A proper support network when business feels hard.

That’s exactly why I do what I do.

If you’ve been sitting on the fence about Colchester, maybe now’s your moment.

𝗟𝗲𝘁’𝘀 𝗯𝗲 𝗵𝗼𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘁.

For a lot of business owners, the word networking brings up images of awkward conversations, forced smiles, people collecting business cards like Pokémon, and being pitched at before you’ve even sat down.

If that’s what you think networking is…

I completely get it.

But EBN?

It’s different.

Relationships first.
Business naturally follows.

Does networking make you cringe, or do you love it? 👇

Our Braintree group is just one example of how we do things diffently.

What makes EBN different?

Honestly?

It’s the people.

This isn’t networking where everyone is waiting to pounce with a sales pitch.

It’s relationship-led.
Supportive.
Relaxed.
Genuine.

If you’ve written networking off before, maybe you simply haven’t found your people yet.

𝗕𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘄𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗯𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗼𝘄𝗻𝗲𝗿𝘀… honest question.

What puts you off networking?

The awkward small talk?
People pitching at you before you’ve finished your coffee?
Rooms that feel cliquey?
The pressure?
