Profitable Networking, a new pay-as-you-go evening networking group is starting up in Northamptonshire to give local business people the opportunity to make contacts, generate business and share ideas in a relaxed environment.

The Northamptonshire Profitable Networking group will meet on the third Wednesday of each month with the launch meeting taking place at 7pm on Wednesday 18 January at the Sunley Management Centre in Northampton.

For just £10 payable at the door, all delegates will be given the opportunity to meet and swap details with each other and they'll also get some free marketing and promotional advice through the 'Magic Marketing Moment', which is to be a regular feature of the events.

The first 10-minute Magic Marketing Moment will be presented by Jane Smith, Director of Northamptonshire-based PR and marketing company LE16 Communications. Jane will be letting delegates in on a few PR secrets to help them make their own headlines in the local media.

LE16 Communications is also sponsoring Profitable Networking which is a joint venture between Victor Harrison, director of Northamptonshire IT and mobile communications specialists Activity Domain Ltd, and local business skills trainer Karl Craig-West.

Profitable Networking co-founder Victor Harrison said: "Profitable Networking provides a flexible way for business people to make new contacts. There's no joining fee - you just pay on the door - so delegates are welcome to come along as little or as often as they like. The evening meetings will also suit people who find breakfast networking difficult - or, like me, simply too early in the morning!"

Jane Smith, director of Profitable Networking sponsors, LE16 Communications, added: "We believe that business networking doesn't need to be high pressure or target driven to generate business - quite the opposite in fact. Our focus will be on supporting business people to meet with, talk with and learn from each other in a relaxed, enjoyable environment."

The launch of Profitable Networking in Northamptonshire follows on from the successful Leicestershire launch in October last year. Leicestershire meetings take place on the fourth Wednesday of each month.
