What an incredible month it’s been here at the Oxford Business Community Network (OBCN), following member Ben Thompson, who runs Thompson & Terry Recruitment joining Mike Foster on the leadership team. More can be found here.
Outside OBCN, The Business Brunch with Ben & Mike has been launched on newly formed Oxfordshire radio station, Get Radio. In the first month 6 members have already been featured on the show, as well as our January OBCN breakfast being featured live on the radio.
As part of the new offering, which is designed to add choice we have enjoyed 5 events this month, which has attracted 200 booking for the first time in a calendar month excluding charity breakfasts, which we are so excited about. On the note of charity breakfasts, we understand charities really need our help, so will be running a BIG charity breakfast on a quarterly basis in 2021.
