The power of networking is used in most businesses, big and small, but it’s not often one associated with the building trade. The benefits could make all the difference when it comes to growing your business, but you might not have considered it because after all, it can involve ‘talking to the competition’ or you might not know where to start. Plus, if you’re focused on the practical side of running your business, the whole idea can seem a bit daunting to many of us. We’re here to help.
In this episode of the Build Up podcast, we’re talking to Nik Nelberg of Earl and Calam Design and Build Ltd, a builder who’s made a conscious effort to make networking a part of his business and is reaping the reward. Our builder hosts David and Aidan will be on hand to give their networking tips and advice.
