Andrew Hibbert is the founder of real5 Networking in the North West. Whether you like it or not, networking is a part of getting representation in your industry. Andy’s been through poorly planned events, left feeling like it was pointless and learnt first hand what it is people go there for – so now is an advocate of doing it properly.

If you’ve been to a networking event, hated it and vowed to never return, a new business owner or an established entrepreneur who loves them, either way, you’ll find something valuable in this. The idea of going to networking events can be a little nerve-wracking, but they’re a great way to meet new people, share ideas and eventually qualify some new business. So, buckle up, we’re going networking.
