Part of the FTSE 250 Pennon Group, Viridor is Scotland’s leading recycling, renewable energy and sustainable waste partner. Working with 96% of
Scottish local authorities, public bodies and Scotland’s leading businesses, Viridor operates a £100m Scottish network of advanced recycling
infrastructure and is investing £500m to translate Scottish zero waste policy into practice.
Viridor is working with Glasgow City Council to design, build finance and operate a European class modern recycling and renewable energy centre
to better manage the city’s 200,000 tonnes of residual waste that until now would have gone to landfill. The £154m project will deliver a broad
range of opportunities for small businesses and social enterprises including a commitment to support a programme of capacity building
workshops.
We all know that it is important to network - it's essential for getting ahead in your business or your career. Yet many of us find ourselves entering a
room full of people and not knowing where to start, who to speak to or what to say. Self-confidence evaporates and you suddenly become
fascinated with the buffet or the delegates list!
How do you work the room or break into a group that is already established? How do you start and end conversations? How do you create
relationships and ensure that you are remembered after the event is over? How do you describe your business in an interesting and succinct way?
And most importantly - how do you make sure that you enjoy the event, make good contacts and look forward to the next one?
This interactive workshop will give you the tools and techniques to help you gain more clients and attract the business you want - confidently!
It will help you:• Understand the importance of networking - it's not just about giving out business cards!
• Address individual anxieties about networking
• Create rapport and relationships - networking is a two-way process
• Practice your networking skills and a safe - and fun! - environment
