Following our lunch at Hallidays on 27th May 2010………….

“Just wanted to say a quick thank you to everyone for making me feel so welcome at the networking lunch at Hallidays yesterday. It was a very relaxed and comfortable lunch (unlike some I have attended!) and it was a real pleasure to meet you all. Looking forward to meeting up with you again at future events.”
Dot Birchfield, PROMOTIONS/EVENTS MANAGER, WILLOW WOOD HOSPICE

“Was nice to meet you all on Thursday in such a pleasant environment. This was my first women’s network meeting and I really enjoyed it…….. Hope to see you at the next meeting!!”
Christine Fowler, Tutor Doctor

An ongoing business relationship

“I met one of my most valued customers through a Cherchez networking event. Cathie Stone of The Brookdale Clinic in Knutsford needed to revamp some of her existing promotional material and I was glad to take on this challenge. Since then we have worked together on many occasions and I have assisted with the design and production of flyers, leaflets, gift vouchers, magazine ads and even t-shirts. Thanks to Cherchez we have formed a rewarding and ongoing business relationship.”
Sarah Batten of Shout Out Graphics

“Just to let you know that thanks to taking the speakers spot at Cherchez, I got several excellent candidates to be SMC’s. Many thanks for giving me the chance to display my wares!!
Cheers,”
Nancy Jaeger, Searchmate North West

“I attended the networking event on Friday 29th May at The Old Rectory in Stockport and I must admit I was nervous as I had never been to anything like this before. When I arrived I was immediately put at ease and was greeted with smiles and a positive ‘vibe’. Most of the other girls were ‘Network Virgins’ and we had a great time!! I met some lovely people and hopefully have promoted my new business venture – a really good experience. Thank you Helen.”

Hi Helen,
“Although I’ve not yet got to any of the events, I just wanted to say I’m impressed by the website and the friendly tone of everything. I’m only just back from holiday for the next event, but hopefully will be able to come along soon. Wishing you every success!!”

Following the original launch of Cherchez in 2008………

Jackey Palmer, Okikoki Design, was the lady I met at my first Cherchez Meeting and we have worked
together on several events that she has held as she is also an Image Consultant for Colour Me Beautiful.

Jackey has booked me on a number of occasions, once when she gave a talk to the WI in Hale and the surrounding areas - about 100 or more ladies turned up. Jackey showed them how to put their colours and styles together, I sold fashion accessories at the end of the night. They loved it all!

She has also booked me to attend her personal Seasonal Updates and introduced me again in the same format as above. We have kept in touch since that first meeting and got on really well. We have exchanged information and ideas.

All thanks to Cherchez!
Elaine Kelly, Dans Le Vent
