"Superb – far above expectations. Really enjoyable and informal. To have other people helping you to develop your business was excellent. It has given me direction and focus. I can't recommend it enough."

Turning Heads Club
27 November 2008, 29 January 2009 and 2 April 2009
Business Award ceremonies can come and go. It is easy to focus the publicity on the winners and to forget the entrants and that all these organisations have on-going needs.
HOVIP is doing something different by piloting a networking club exclusively involving existing HOVIP Innovation Award entrants and winners, sponsors and Steering Group.
Aims of the Turning Heads Club:
- Provide informal opportunities to network
- Bring relevant guest speakers and services to the attention of members
- Update members with HOVIP services
- Inform and engage members with the HoV Regeneration agenda
The pilot is running from October 2008 until April 2009 based on three informal evening events, starting on 27th November at the Kidz R Us converted Chapel in Tredegar.
Members will be invited to introduce their services, highlight their needs, request and meet relevant guest speakers and shape the future of the club.
Businesses in the food and drinks sectors will be also invited to give taster sessions!
