A good meeting this morning at the Thurrock Network Group. A quiet one in respect to usual meetings but still as useful as ever. The thing that helps me attend these meetings in the motivation it gives me when I return back to the office, motivation that ultimately is providing me the power to write this article. The first I hope of many on my experiences with networking and meeting new business in and around Grays and Thurrock.

One new face this morning, one who is beginning an exciting new venture which will see martial arts, personal training, massage therapy and physio all brought under one roof. An interesting blend of similar activities that all go hand in hand. A face that I have come across in the past one which has trained many young people in martial arts in and around Thurrock, his "idea/vision" is yet to be named but Bill Martin has some exciting ideas. We wish him all the best with his new venture. Looking forward to seeing it all come together. Keep an eye out for Bill and his business over the coming months.

Thurrock Network Group meets on the 3rd Thursday of every month and is open to all business in the area. It is funded by the council and is hosted by Louise Ince of of the award winning Dotty Hippo Design, so bring yourself down to meet other businesses.
