Tell Us About Your Business
I'm a Marketing Communications Professional with extensive client side and agency experience. I've worked as a freelance copywriter since 1987, specialising in direct marketing, brochures, newsletters and web content, especially (but not exclusively) in the financial, technology, telecomms and leisure sectors. I have an entrepreneurial streak, having set up and running three businesses and I love training and presenting. I'm developing Networking in Surrey to promote and facilitate face-to-face local networking (kind of 'what it says on the tin' really!)
I'm also a Qualiified Trainer with ReallyConnect, the world's first Certified LinkedIn Training organisation, helping corporates and SMEs exploit the full potential of online business networking.
"Keith is Mr Networking in Surrey! Always smiling, always supportive - a natural networker. He has been a great help to me in promoting some workshops that I run. Thank you Keith."Ian Crocker, Abslolute Learning
"I met Keith through the Trafford Elmbridge Focus Group to which we both belong. Good company- he has also breathed new life - or at least new language and ideas into my marketing material and website. I advise clients to stick to what they do best and get specailist help in other areas. We forget this for ourselves at our peril!"Jeremy Webb, SatNav4Business

Hi Keith, I have way of building and expanding your Networking In Surrey to benefit of all the members. I am in talks with couple of other people who manage business networks. I sent an email. Let me know this is of interest.
It was Peter, Paul & Mary: In the early morning rain, big 747 set to....So I'll just be on my way, in the early morning rain!
Do I get a bonus point at the next SBC Christmas quiz now?
After our last chat, guess I'm not gonna be attending "My team" at present but it's a good venue to maybe grab my "15 minutes" either before or after if you're available? Cheers! Ian
Please can you apply my two Events for this week. Fabulous Women on Wednesday and My Charity Bowling Night on Thursday. I did fill out the add event form. I hope I did it right. Please let me know if I haven't.
Many thanks for the welcome and reminder; I have uploaded my photo so there is a face to the name.
Hello to the Group. I've just joined and run BarrCo Solicitors, who specialise in employment law. I'm looking forward to networking with everyone but am clocking off now to enjoy the last of the sun after a busy day in the office! Have a great weekend all.
Hi Keith - long time indeed. I can't believe it's taken me this long to sign up! Guildfrod, yes, haven't you heard, it's very exclusive! Photo uploaded. Speak soon
Thanks Keith - photo all present and correct I hope.
I own a new PR, Marketing and Social Media agency based in Redhill: Surrey PR - so Networking in Surrey looks like a fantastic opportunity for me to meet local business and brand owners.
Looking forward to meeting you in the flesh at one of the events.
It's been a long time since we first met a Digital Surrey event. Anyway I've got my co-working space up and running and would like to add the following offer.
Headline : Limited offer of 35% discount on monthly plan prices
at The Digital Work Hub co-working space, for anyone who books an 8 days a month or more plan for hot desk space
Get a review of your current technology tools and solutions to ensure that you're not only getting the best value for money but using the most appropriate tools on the market.
Can I please ask if you could circulate this Xmas Book Offer link below which includes a donation to a charity for disadvantage people. thank you. Rosie
We met at your network meeting last Tuesday at The Fairmile - I'm pretty unfamiliar with Linked In - I am a member and a connection of yours, I think - does that mean I can join the Myteam group?
Thank you very much for your message! Unfortunately, I can's upload my pic for some reason (actually 2 different pics, both jpeg format)... Tried to upload them upon my registration and just now, but keep getting error messages?? Is there anything that can be done to rectify it?
Ian James recommended you to me. I run an International Breakfast Club aimed at creating a sanctuary for business leaders and for collaboration. I don't charge for it.
We have guest speakers and in June we have the Bank of England sending a rep. It's a fun vibrant group.
We have one company for each sector. My speciality is international trade, namely Asia. I also have strong ICT and Business Development skills which I also tend to offer as part of my offering.
Ian is certainly an incomparable source of local knowledge and contacts, isn't he? He's also a lovely man so I'm delighted that we now have another group in common!
Thanks for your email and I'm delighted to say that I've successfully uploaded a photo (always a relief!).
