A NETWORKING and support group for businesses in Dunstable celebrated its first birthday last week.
Networking@Dunstable, hosted a champagne reception for members and supporters, and founded by Sandie Copp and Katey Horne told the Herald&Post the group’s success had been a big surprise.
The duo started the group after realising there was no focal point for Dunstable companies to meet, share information and encourage local trade.
Sandie said: “We never imagined it would take off in such a way, and are so encouraged by the positivity shown that we wanted to share celebrating our success with our members who have been fantastic supporters.”
The group hosts monthly breakfast meetings with guest speakers, and members range from sole traders through to national banks, Whipsnade Zoo and Central Beds College.
