Celebrating Local Business & Community: Highlights from the Teddington & The Hamptons Networking Event
What a night! On Tuesday, September 15th, 2026, over 75 local business owners and professionals gathered at The Park Hotel in Teddington for our latest Teddington & The Hamptons Networking Event.
The goal of this events was been simple: bring the local business community together under one roof, encourage real in-person relationships, and create opportunities for local businesses to collaborate and grow together across Teddington, Hampton, Hampton Hill, and the wider TW postcode area.
Seeing the function room packed with local entrepreneurs exchanging ideas, discovering synergies, and building new partnerships made the evening a resounding success.
A Team Effort
An event of this scale doesn't happen by accident. Putting together a seamless evening for 70+ business leaders takes dedicated coordination and support.
A huge thank you goes to the brilliant team who helped co-host and organize the night:
Mel from Conversure
Joyce from Marketing Tech
Marilyn from KW Lawyers
Dan from Teddington Town
In addition to short insights from our co-hosts and local town reps, one of the highlights of the night was opening the floor to all attendees.
A Special Milestone: The Brandtastic Book Launch
For me personally, the evening marked an extra special milestone. Along with hosting the networking event, we officially celebrated the launch of my new book, Brandtastic! 📚🎉
Written as a practical, no-nonsense guide for entrepreneurs, Brandtastic breaks down brand strategy into 21 actionable chapters, real-world case studies, and practical worksheets designed to help businesses build a brand that truly stands out.
Seeing so many fellow business owners pick up copies, ask for signed editions, and chat through their own branding challenges throughout the night was deeply gratifying.
