Why Networking Matters


Networking is vital for small businesses and freelancers. For instance, research shows that 85% of jobs are filled through networking. It opens doors to new collaborations, resources, and opportunities that can help you grow. Whether you need advice, partnerships, or simply a friendly chat, connecting with others can provide invaluable support.


In a world where many work alone or remotely, isolation can become an issue. Events like Cuppa and Connect strive to eliminate these feelings, allowing you to engage with others who share and understand your journey.
