On the 19th of September 2024, the Bishop Auckland and Shildon Business Network hosted a highly successful networking event at the Locomotion National Rail Museum in Shildon. The event attracted business owners, entrepreneurs, and professionals from across Bishop Auckland, Shildon, and surrounding areas, creating a dynamic environment for making new business contacts, sharing ideas, and discovering opportunities.
The morning started with refreshments at 8:30 am, allowing attendees to engage in informal conversations before the main event. These early networking sessions provided a valuable chance for businesses to connect with one another, share their successes, and discuss challenges they face. From seasoned professionals to those new to the local business community, everyone was eager to foster new relationships.
Highlight of the Event: Cyber Security Insights
The highlight of the event was a fascinating presentation by the Regional Organised Crime Unit, who provided valuable insights into cyber security and cybercrime and delivered an engaging and informative talk on the critical topic of cyber security and cybercrime. With businesses increasingly reliant on digital operations, understanding the risks and learning how to protect against cyber threats has never been more important. You can explore more about the support they offer and their work in this area through the North East Regional Cyber and Economic Crime Units by visiting their website here.
Supporting Local Businesses and Sharing Success
In addition to the informative presentation, the Bishop Auckland and Shildon Business Network event provided an excellent platform for attendees to share their own business news and success stories. The network has always been about more than just exchanging business cards—it’s about building a supportive community that uplifts local businesses.
Whether it was celebrating recent successes or discussing ways the network could help overcome challenges, the event fostered a spirit of collaboration. Local businesses were given the chance to voice any support needs, and the network is dedicated to helping those in attendance find the resources and assistance required to grow and thrive.
