Independents Networking Event

An event for any independent HR practitioners who would like to reconnect or make some new connections locally. Are you recently self-employed or considering making the leap and looking for support? Have you run your own business for a while and happy to help others whilst make some new connections? If so, come and join us at our networking event specifically aimed at those who run their own businesses or are thinking about doing so. This is a relaxed and friendly event with an opportunity to meet like-minded people who are able to provide or offer support to others and potentially opportunities to collaborate. Refreshments will be provided and we look forward to seeing you there. We will be in the Willmott Room, which has its own parking spaces. These are accessed through white gates, not the main entrance to the gardens for public parking. The What3Words reference is ///ends.float.admits and these are the gates you are looking for. Follow the road round to the right towards the Stable Yard (W3W reference //grab.brick.cried) and park here. If you aren’t sure where to go, find the café and someone will guide you from there! Below is an aerial view of the site. Blue highlighted areas are car parks, accessed via the roads shown in red. You can use either car park but the main car park is a longer walk to the room. The orange section shows where the Willmott Room is. The green stripe shows the café (it is not at the entrance as Google maps suggests!) From the South Leave the M5 at Junction 7 Take the A44 (To Evesham / Worcester South). Continue to follow signs for the A44 by going straight over the first roundabout, right at the second roundabout and right at the third roundabout (signposted Evesham). Shortly after crossing over the M5, you will pass under a white footbridge and the white gates entrance will be the first turning on your right (the second turn is the main Garden car park) From the North Leave the M5 at Junction 6 Take the A4538, Pershore Road. Straight over the first roundabout, at the second roundabout turn right onto the A44 (Worcester). Half a mile after crossing over the railway, ignore the first main entrance to the Gardens on your left and take the next left through the white gates. From the East Follow the A44 from Stratford-Upon-Avon to Worcester. Go straight over the roundabout with the A4538 Pershore Road and after half mile, ignore the first main entrance on your left to the Gardens and take the next left through the white gates. From the West Take the A44 out of Worcester towards Stratford-Upon-Avon. Shortly after crossing over the M5, you will pass under a white footbridge and the white gates entrance will be the first turning on your right (the second turn is the main Garden car park) Joining instructions Guest speakers Some events may include external speakers.
