Weekly Meeting 19th August 2026 - Reverse 60 Seconds
Join us for a lively and purposeful networking event designed to deepen your understanding of fellow members’ businesses while strengthening real connections.
At this session, each member will randomly select a business card and step into the role of advocate, delivering a short pitch to introduce that member’s business to the room—complete with a clear and compelling call to action. It is a fun, fast-paced format, but with a serious objective: helping you better understand how to represent, refer, and support one another more effectively.
This exercise challenges you to listen, learn, and communicate the value of another business, sharpening your own networking skills while building stronger links across the group. Following each pitch, constructive feedback will be shared, offering valuable insights to improve how we all present and promote one another.
These meetings are an excellent opportunity to expand your knowledge of member businesses, uncover new referral opportunities, and strengthen the connectivity of our local business community.
Come ready to learn, participate, and leave with sharper skills, stronger relationships, and a clearer understanding of how to support those around you.
One Category - One member Meeting. Guests are welcome to join in once registered to get a feel for the group and what can be achieved through effective networking.

In 2019 I have returned to re-establish imagex, the photo retailer I founded in 2013 after the failure of Jessops - I departed this firm in March 2017. The new operation also includes SO Photo, the on-line used, rare & collectible photo equipment & accessories retail operation I have been running since 2017.
I also operate the MacTechnology IT Consultancy after 20+ years in the Apple reseller channel in company management, specialist consultancy and general support. I formed the Mac Technology Association to fulfill the need for Apple dealers, resellers & service providers to have a service through which they could actually communicate directly.
