A fortnightly series of digital meetings aims to connect Richmond businesses owners and boost town trade.

Kindred Business Networking events are run via Zoom by Barbara Ann Fitzpatrick who has worked in corporate space, business development and client management in her career.

Attendees have the opportunity of introducing their companies to fellow guests and chatting in breakout rooms to network informally in smaller groups.

We're a fresh, group of inspired business owners, entrepreneurs, start-ups and freelancers who appreciate the power of regular networking for personal and business growth.

We're changing the tune of the narrative; from a platform to an arena, from a networking group to a support and growth portal, from conversation to action, spark to fire.

Connections and real business transactions are made.

A recurring piece of positive feedback we've been receiving is how we offer a chance to focus on business within a safe and supportive environment.

It is clearly resonating strongly with our attendees.

We know high membership fees can be a barrier for small start-ups, and how difficult to commit for an entire year, so we do not have a membership structure.

Tickets to the events cost £10 and can be bought online right up to the day before the event.

Our next events are being held on Thursday, July 16 and two weeks later on July 30, both between 10am until noon.

Here is the link for this week's brunch club which you can book via Eventbrite.

Why not join us and you can:

• Make new connections
• Network is small breakout groups
• Join our private FB group to promote your business
• Build new relationships
• Biz Showcase

A bit about Barbara Ann Fitzpatrick

Barbara moved to Richmond more than 11 years ago and stayed because it has all the things she loves - the river, the great outdoors of Richmond and Old Deer Park and Richmond Green.

She likes to play golf as much as possible and loves the village feel of Richmond and the ambience of the town centre.

Barbara is passionate about supporting independent town business owners and giving something back to the community by helping others to be successful and sharing her experience with Kindred members.

She offers free one-to-one sessions to help your business grow.
