Networking Events' Seminar Topics

Seminar: How to avoid your business being seen to be just another brick in the wall
Presenter - Phil Strachan
Far too many businesses just bland in with the competition.

They are distinctly bland as opposed to being a distinctive brand and for that reason they are no more than me-too blands when they would much prefer to be the go-to brand in their market. In short, they are blands rather than brands, blands of very little hope and even less chance of glory, each destined to become just a.n.other example of the bland that time forgot. That is why it is
time to Think Brand ? not bland.

Phil Strachan has a wealth of experience working on brands of all shapes and sizes on both the Client side
and the Consultancy side. Born in Glasgow, but having worked in London and the South for over 40 years, Phil relocated to North Wales in 2021. He continues to encourage businesses to Stand out from the crowd by thinking Brand - not bland with the promise of delivering what he calls "London quality branding, identity and design at Glasgow prices"

What our
members and
visitors say...

I just wanted to say thank you for organising another great lunch today. I cannot believe it is a year since I started coming to the Business Network Chester events. I really enjoy coming to the events and it is a testament to your enthusiasm and great organisational skills that they are such a success month on month. I tried a lot of different networking events before coming to the Business Network and never really felt that I got that much out of them, despite my efforts, but your philosophy of building trust and getting to know people is a good fit with my own thoughts on business networking and definitely seems to work. I have recently started to really feel the benefit of being in the Network and am very much looking forward to continuing to meet and get to know the other members over the next 12 months.

The Business Network Chester is like a really good casserole. Lots of ingredients, all left to slowly cook and intermingle over a long period of time and as we all know a good casserole is always worth waiting for, and gets better and better, the longer and more slowly it is cooked. So if you are a Fast food kind of person then we are probably not right for you.
