Wealden Business Breakfasts
Where: Barnsgate Manor Vineyard, near Crowborough
When: Tuesday 23rd February 2010 from 7.30am-10.30am
Cost: £5.00 per head (including breakfast)
You are invited to attend our next Business Breakfast on Tuesday 23rd February 2010 at Barnsgate Manor, Crowborough.
The two topics covered at Business Breakfast include ‘Managing your Business through Uncertain Times’ and a
presentation by the Valuation Office on Business Rates.
The first topic, Managing your Business during Uncertain Times, will consider how our natural communication preferences
influence our perception of what makes Strong Leadership, how to best Manage Uncertainty and Setting Realistic Goals.
By the end of the session you will understand how communication can go SO wrong on each level, while giving you
practical tips for making communication SO much easier. You will have a grasp of your own preferences, know why some
of your relationships ‘get stuck’ and be able to take easy steps to improve them! This isn’t just useful with your customers
and direct teams, it can positively impact all your significant relationships.
There will then be a short talk by Andrew Scott from the Valuation Office speaking about:
■ What business rates are
■ How they are calculated
■ Who is responsible for the various aspects of the Rating process
■ Action ratepayers can take to ensure they are paying the right amount
■ Where more information can be obtained
You can choose from either a full English or a healthier, Continental style breakfast, made from local produce (where possible). Afterwards there will be the usual opportunity for informal networking and the chance to make use of the ‘Name Exchange’ table where you can leave your business card or brochures for others to pick up.
Places are limited, so if you would like to attend (max. 2 per company), please complete the form overleaf and return to us
(along with payment, cheques made payable to Wealden District Council), by no later than Friday 5th February 2010.
