Richard,

Having just joined the network, it has been too short notice to attend the Gathering in Birmingham on Saturday. I take it there will be a communication of the outputs to all network members?

Yours Aye,

Allan

I have high qualifications on accountindg and finance.I am from India.I have rich experience of 23 years of catering my services as an individual professional to a variety of clients including corporates and small business with vareity of products and services like textile, engineering,steel,garments,timber,advertising,

broking, insurance etc.My strengths are SYSTEMS and INTERNAL CONTROL.I do it through coaching and facilitating.

Thanks for the invitation to attend. Unfortunately I won’t be able to do so on this occasion. I will be interested to see how the network develops. You have obviously put a lot of work in and I think this comes across in the quality of your communications – the web cam idea is a good one.

Speaking personally, I have not had any contacts as a result of the site. I wonder how well it is being used at the moment.

Also, it seems to me that the beauty of this kind of arrangement must surely be in the possibilities it offers for collaborative work. Any views on this I wonder?

Good luck and collegiate greetings for the day!

Chris Ball

Dear Richard

Thank you very much for the invitation, I work in Mumbai. I am an amatuer trainer and am interested in the field of corporate training.

There are a number of unexplored markets in India and when you plan to establish here, am sure that there will be a lot to do and accomplish

Wishing the first gathering to be a success and also look forward to seeing you in Mumbai

Regards

Priya Mukherjee

I very much hope that it was a good gathering. May I know more about the opportunities in Bulgaria and Romania. As I am acting in both countries, maybe I can involve myself and be helpful,
