eOffice Coffee Friday - Starting your own company: My
Shoestring Romance
Friday 30th July 10.30am – 12.00pm
Kerry Hale, Partner of Bristol Buddies (A Bristol
Social Network) and Director of FUSE (A Singles Events
Company) has experienced first hand the ups and downs of
developing a business. However, the most intriguing aspect of her
dual trade has been that Bristol Buddies & FUSE have a
fundamental difference: Bristol Buddies cost thousands to set up
and makes nothing and FUSE cost less than £500 to set up and
generated profit in its first month of trading!
Kerry will be speaking openly and honestly about the
mistakes that she and other business people make during the launch
& development of your business. The lessons learnt were
sometimes costly, but also invaluable, for this has enabled Kerry
to create and run FUSE on a shoestring.
Since the success of FUSE Kerry has also been working
with other SME/start up companies to ensure minimal set up costs,
a quicker profit and a steady growth.
If you are thinking of starting your own company, you
own your own business or work in an SME then you can be sure to
gain some tips for local PR, brand awareness, the nitty
gritty of what’s needed and what’s not at start up and
maybe a laugh or two at some of those classic mistakes!
The event will comprise of networking with coffee and
cakes followed by our Key Speaker Kerry Hale. The cost for this
event is £10.00 on entry or £99.99 + VAT for a
membership to eOffice which entitles you to a year’s worth
of networking events, 15% discount off of our meeting/conferencing
facilities, mentorship programme and more!
