On the 1st day of November, The Boardroom Network – Bournemouth – celebrated its 5th anniversary. With delicious, TBN branded chocolates from Michael Collins, the buzzing breakfast meeting enjoyed a well-deserved taste of success.

Compassion, Car-Leasing, and Capturing the Imagination
Networking Works Well When You Play Your Cards Right As you can see from our headline image, Darren Coates and Jay Rachet wove wit and humour into our October business breakfast at The Stones Hotel, for TBN Solstice.

Getting To Know You
If you’re like me, you’ll feel ‘at home’ with The Boardroom Network. One good reason for that is the opportunity created to get to know one another at each event.

It Is About Time
To say our Breakfast meeting at the Solent Hotel and Spa was ‘time well spent’ can be clearly seen from this great moment captured by Justin Wharmby, our Photographer-in-Residence. There were so many photos from today’s shoot that show faces full of joy… and that at about 8 am on a Friday morning! Something must […]
Fiery Start to Autumn
We had a fiery start to the Autumn Season with the grim tale of Barbecued Bony Bob and other great presentations. In fact, it was a bit like a new School Term! Looking at the ‘Class of Table 8’ above, one wonders if they knew Bony Bob! Whilst our members are certainly influenced by the […]
An Ever Improving Story
The Boardroom Network and Elite Business Women Clubs are about co-creating an ever-improving story for us all – a story with a happier ending for you and me for simply being active contributors to the ways our community develops. Our four presenters demonstrated this with diverse themes that complemented one another – blending collectively into […]
