CEPN Committee

I refer to the above matter and have now analysed the 16 completed surveys which I received from our recent CEPN event. The consensus is that people would like the choice of a hot buffet (Chili, Curry, Stew etc) in the winter and a cold buffet in the summer (rice, pasta).

The majority of people would like small desserts or biscuits to be provided.

The majority of people would be happy to pay between £1- £3 more for a hot buffet or more variety. One person suggested that they would like salmon sandwiches, however the majority of people want a selection of sandwiches and hors d’oeuvre such as vol au vents, sausage rolls or quiches (which I believe Ann does anyway).

On a personal note, I think that the buffet went down very well at the last event and that nobody had any negative comments to make in respect of it, so a big well done to Ann.

Speed Networking with a Twist

Guest speaker was Eric Hearn who spoke briefly about owner/managers having more pressure to succeed in their business’s. Eric Hearn also highlighted the opportunities available through the NWDA mentoring programme.

‘Speed networking with a Twist’ was the main theme of the evening when all members and guests were given 1 minutes to speak about their business though the eyes of  a third party by  giving a reference to the business. The evening closed with the raffle of wine and a book donated by Marie-Claire Carlyle.

The next meeting is 8th April 2010 at Chester Sports and Social club,with the AGM at 6.30pm, followed by Paul Rutherford, Sales Leadership Development Ltd.
