Join us for our next event on Wednesday 4 February 2026

 

We are pleased to welcome Kerry Lewis-Stevenson from Business MK, Kerry will unpack why some businesses seem to be everywhere on LinkedIn, whilst others struggle to be seen at all, even when what they do is genuinely brilliant. Drawing on what Kerry has learned from building visibility and trust across the region’s business community, she’ll share the practical signals that help decision-makers remember you, recommend you, and introduce you to the right people.

 

You’ll leave with a clear sense of what quietly holds many businesses back, and a handful of simple adjustments you can make straight away, without needing to post every day or force a “personal brand”.

We will also hear from Andrea Smith and find out more about the Franklins £50 Challenge 2026, which starts on the 23rd February! 

​

Andrea will explain how this annual initiative has grown year on year, why it’s such a hit with local businesses and the benefits of getting involved. 

​

Andrea will also highlight the positive impact on our community and share how you can help make this year’s Challenge the biggest and best yet. Don’t miss out on the chance to support one of 12 fantastic local charities and have some fun at the same time!
