🎄🎁 Merry Christmas from the Business Buzz Team! As the festive season is upon us, we want to take a moment to thank each and every one of you for making 2024 an incredible year of networking, connections, and growth. From the conversations sparked over coffee to the collaborations born from introductions, your enthusiasm and support are what keep the Buzz alive! Now, it’s time for a well-deserved rest. There’ll be no events until the New Year as we take a short break to recharge and celebrate the season. But don’t worry, we’ll be back on 2nd January with our first events of 2025 at Brackley Buzz and Cambridge Buzz—ready to kick off another year of building meaningful connections. 🎅 Until then, enjoy the holidays, cherish time with loved ones, and maybe even start thinking about your 2025 networking goals! After all, it’s never too early to plan how you’ll grow your network in the year ahead. Wishing you a Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year! We can’t wait to see you in January for another buzzing year of networking. #MerryChristmas #Networking #BusinessBuzz

From being the first to expand outside Hertfordshire to managing three successful regions, Leigh has helped shape our network’s regional model, a cornerstone of our growth. During lockdown, Leigh pioneered online speed networking, keeping the Buzz community connected when it mattered most. She also designed and developed our website, won external awards for her events, and even represented Buzz on TV! This year, Leigh celebrates 10 incredible years with us. Her favourite phrase, “I have a great idea”, continues to inspire (and occasionally terrify!) us all. Leigh, your contributions are unmatched, and we are so grateful for everything you do. You truly are a legend! 💬 Let’s flood the comments with applause and gratitude for Leigh’s incredible journey and impact. #BusinessBuzz #Networking #Awards #BuzzLegendAward
