A NEW programme of networking events has been launched by the Winchester Business Improvement District.

The first event will be held on Thursday, October 23, from 6-8pm at the Winchester Business Centre in Parchment Street, and will give locals the chance to look at how to export globally as a small business.

It follows on from a presentation last month from Martin Wilson, at Mobile Web, on the importance of a user-friendly mobile presence in today’s digital society.

Mark Baulch, of the Hampshire Chamber of Commerce, will host the event with Winchester BID to help like-minded businesses network and gain access to helpful information.

The event is free and guests will be provided a glass of wine and canapés on arrival.
