Networking is one of the most effective ways to grow your business or your career. 


When done correctly, networking can help you make valuable connections, find new customers, and learn about innovative products and services. 


In this blog post, we will discuss the advantages of networking and how to do it effectively. We'll also provide some tips for networking at a business event. Let's get started!



Why You Should Network and How to Network Effectively

Networking is the practice of communicating and interacting with other on a professional level and a business event is a good place for this to be carried out.


At business events you are likely to be connecting with people in your industry or with others at the same professional or academic level as yourself. Networking can also be done online, but face-to-face interactions are often more beneficial.


When networking with others it is important that you remain professional and are genuine and authentic at all times, you need to let others know the real you as networking involves building relationships rather than selling a product or service to others which can be done at a later point once the relationships have been established.


Networking can also help you find a job, get promoted, or make new friends. 


If you are looking for a new job, networking can be a great way to find out about open positions or make connections with potential employers. 


If you're already employed, networking can help you meet potential candidates for jobs or make contacts for the future when you decide to change jobs.

At The Hungry Plaice we have recently introduced a new addition to our fleet Bessie a modern van specifically for certain corporate events which call for a modern van. This contemporary vehicle is equipped with a modern range fryer and will be able to cover long distances effortlessly, allowing us to continue to cater for clients even in far-flung locations! The decision to invest in this high-tech van was driven by the desire to preserve our beloved vintage vans, Betty and Beryl who aged 40 and 38 respectively need to do less travelling in order to keep them on the road for as long as we can. Betty and Beryl have been serving up delicious fish and chips for years, becoming icons of The Hungry Plaice's brand. They hold sentimental value that goes beyond their functionality as food trucks and customers had developed an emotional connection with these charming old-fashioned vehicles. Recognising this sentiment, we have decided it was time to protect Betty and Beryl from excessive wear and tear. By introducing the modern van for corporate events, The Hungry Plaice ensures that Betty and Beryl can get some well-deserved rest while still meeting the demands of commercial catering. The advanced features of the new van enhance efficiency making it easier for the business to accommodate large gatherings and operate in distant venues without straining their classic counterparts. Moreover, the modern van allows The Hungry Plaice to expand its reach into previously untapped markets. With its reliability over long distances, the company can now offer its renowned fish and chips experience at various events across different regions, attracting new customers who may have previously been out of range. Despite taking advantage of cutting-edge technology using this new vehicle, The Hungry Plaice remains committed to maintaining its traditional appeal. Betty and Beryl will continue delighting customers at weddings, private and some corporate events keeping alive the nostalgic charm that has become synonymous with The Hungry Plaice experience.  The decision to incorporate a modern van alongside Betty and Beryl represents a balanced approach between preserving tradition and embracing innovation. As we embark on this exciting chapter of expansion The Hungry Plaice remains dedicated to delivering excellence in our services.
