Get Connected - The Launch
Local MP supports us to get local businesses 'Connected'
Friday 10th July at the Marriott Cheshunt, local businesses and non-profit organisations 'Get Connected'
Over 25 local businesses and 15 community organisations from Broxbourne got together at our pioneering event to be inspired, energised and connected!
This event was the offical launch of Get Connected - as you know we are a social enterprise who connects, supports and facilitates partnerships between business and community organisations.
This launch was a showcase to our groundbreaking venture that delivers real community benefit through bringing together the sometimes vastly different worlds of business and local non-profit making organisations.
The key theme of the event was to connect local businesses with non-profit organisations and demonstrate how engagement in community activities will work for their business growth and in turn support the local community, building its capacity and prosperity.
Charles Walker, MP for Broxbourne gave a energetic and focused speech, “I want you as businesses to make a profit and be an integral part of building our local and wider economy. I also want you to be active in your local community, engaging in activities which support the people in our community and business growth".
Charles went on to give great commendation and support for the forward thinking organisation that Nicci Statham (Chief Executive) is continually developing into a dynamic social enterprise.
The Marriott Cheshunt Hotel and eKuiLibriuM, a local personal fitness training company sponsored the event. The Marriott Cheshunt kindly provided a first class venue and dedicated support to bring the event to life. eKuiLibriuM volunteered to run the event with Get Connected, bringing their enthusiasm and positive energy to the whole day!
Andrew from Child UK commented, “Very positive feel about the event from the minute I arrived and was not disappointed". Andy from H&A Lopata Ltd commented, “I stepped in at the last minute – it was an excellent event! I had intended to leave early but here we are at the end and I am still here!". Grant Fogel from Peninsula UK commented “thoroughly enjoyable and very energising. Thank you".
Nicci Statham, Chief Executive of Get Connected commented, “This event was the coming together of a range of businesses, large and small, and local community organisations. The event was a huge success, with inspirational speeches from Charles Walker, Tesco & Pinewood School and our Back to Work project for unemployed people. All of these showcases demonstrated how inspiring and successful it is for local businesses to work in partnership in their communities..."
Our next event will be at the Marriott Hanbury Manor on Friday 2nd October 2009 - approximately 11:30am to 2:30pm.
