I became a member of the Best of Hitchin having heard lots of great reports, and certainly being aware of it in my local town, Hitchin (through banners outside businesses, adverts, mailers etc). When moving to the area I was keen to find all about the local activity and their website is perfect for this! Through joining I have benefitted from a place that my clients can post comments on the service I offer, which in turn I can share with other people, as well as communicating my services along with other businesses in my local area. I can also post events and promotions that I run on their website, which is starting to generate business for me. I attend the Best of Hitchin networking events, which are always great fun and lovely to feel part of a community of other businesses, many of which can be independent people like myself, which again have benefitted me from generating some business. Each time I find out more about my local area too. I also use social media which Best of Hitchin are great at, so I will get to find out the latest piece of news or activity pretty much daily. Keith and Louise who run Best of Hitchin are also both genuinely lovely people, and it’s a pleasure to have met them through this. A great local website, activity and networking for local people – yet with a national connection!

Keith and Louise are tireless in their efforts to promote local businesses.
I have recently attended the Cuppa Connect networking which was run at the Victoria Pub. This was a really useful and enjoyable informal networking event.
Networking is a great way to meet other local business people so why not come along to the next one?

The networking cuppa connect events are brilliant for those of us working for ourselves, mixing with other like minded local people in business in this informal way are a great source of inspiration and positive networking. Very well organised, with a 'all are welcome' feel. Looking forward to working with some of those I met.

I think Keith and Louise are Network-Meisters!

According to Wikipedia: A person referred to as “Meister” is one who has extensive theoretical knowledge and practical skills in his profession, business, or some other kind of work or activity.

What more is there to say? Thank you guys for promoting my business so well.You work very hard, but you ROCK!

PS: I didn't just write this to win the Orient Express tickets, the flowers for a year would also be fab! Just Kidding, I really mean this, THANK YOU!

Thank you for a great evening. For my first networking event I would say it went brilliantly. Although at the start I was a little overwhelmed, by the end I had only managed one mouthful of food because I was too busy chatting!
I felt I made some useful contacts and had an enjoyable evening.
Thanks again and see you at the next one.

As it's Valentine's day I thought I would show some love for our wonderful Keith & Louise from Best of Hitchin. I am constantly stunned how much effort they put in for all their members. I know no other promoter/ marketing company that constantly thinks so much about getting you noticed and talked about. From blogs, tweets, networking to plain old word of mouth - they do it all and they do it so well. So if you are looking for ideas to help boost business go no further, they are the "Best of" the best.

"Louise & Keith are one of the hardest working business couples that I know – And that is well & truly paying off due to their ongoing success with The Best of Hitchin. Always there to show support to their members and nothing is ever too much trouble. The regular networking evenings draw in crowds of local business owners all wanting to meet with like minded others. These events are held in a mix of superb locations and with the relaxed atmosphere that Louise & Keith create there is always plenty of business opportunities passed around. All in all, if you want to promote your local business to local people than the Best of Hitchin is the way to do it."

I joined Best of Hitchin in November to promote a new childrens clinic within my osteopathic practice. I think that most would agree that the Best of Hitchin website is dynamic – constantly updated, interesting and a great source of information for what’s going on in and around Hitchin from concerts, bee-keeping workshops, to listings for mother and babies groups and for promoting local businesses. I am glad to be a part of that.
Keith and Louise are very approachable and, for want of a more English term, great facilitators of networking events if the recent meeting at Blakemore House was anything to go by – great venue and food and just a really conducive atmosphere to meet other local business folk. There’s a lot of hard work that goes on behind the scenes with Keith & Louise and their team and it shows.

'The Best Of Hitchin are a very focused and dedicated team.
We have been very impressed with the care and attention we have received from both Louise and Keith.
Nothing is ever too much trouble and they are always helpful to work with and patient.
When I created a blog, needed to put up events or show our current offer on the website,
they were on hand to talk me through it. They provide a very supportive framework and I would highly recommend them for any business.

We decided to become a "Best of Hitchin" member because we want to be part of the local business community. We see Keith wandering around town often and we know that he is on first name terms with many key people and businesses in town and we want to benefit from the "Best of Hitchins" links and relationships. We want to spend time getting to know the people who work around us and in time hope to be able to assist them and their businesses with their Insurance & Financial Services needs.

“We’re delighted to be members of Best of Hitchin; Keith and Louise should be very proud of what they’ve achieved. The combination of opportunities to promote our business is impressive – from a great website to the door drops and bi-weekly newsletter. The independent testimonial-led approach is hard to fault. The networking events are THE best .. more like a big friendly club. Best of all, Keith & Louise never stop improving what they offer; it’s like having two business ambassadors working for us! If you’re not yet a member, join now! Geoff Ide, Oxygen web, video and multimedia.”

Starting off a new business is very daunting , but having met Keith and Louise, I felt confident that they will help us to promote our business. What I like is the promotion of the business can be through so many ways, through the website, network meetings, door drops and with them knowing so many people, through word of mouth. TheBestofHitchin has been a really good form of marketing as the testimonials have helped establish our credibility as Jewellers as people can read of the quality of the workmanship and the fantastic service we offer to people. There are lots of networking groups around, but we really enjoy the meetings with Thebestofhichin as they are really friendly and relaxed. Anyone wanting to promote their business should consider joining as Keith and Loiuse are always willing to help, and i am sure they will continue spreading the word for us. Thanks Keith and Louise keep up the good work. Wendy Schneider, Jewellery by Design

The event at The Millstream was the first 'Best of' I have attended and I just wanted to say that I thoroughly enjoyed it. It was an enjoyable evening and a superb opportunity for networking at its best, relaxed, informal, friendly.....

Following from that event I now have the complete joy of working with a very talented lady whom I met that evening, she is at the start of something very exiciting.

And, that is not where it stops!

It really was a fantastic opportunity and I would thoroughly recommend Best of Hitchin events as being a good opportunity for those who are new to the idea of networking.

Keep up the fantastic work!

I wanted to say a huge thank you to Keith and Louise for allowing Rhythms of the World to present at last night’s networking event. It was a great opportunity for us to showcase the festival and I’m hopeful that we made lots of interesting leads. We are also hugely grateful to the Best of Hitchin for becoming silver sponsors of the event - hopefully aptly demonstrating how a local business can support a local charity for mutual benefit.
