A NETWORKING group launched in Huddersfield is extending its scope.

MYnetwork aims to strengthen the local business community by getting like-minded business people together to meet valuable new contacts in a relaxed and informal networking environment.

Now the network which has enjoyed success in Huddersfield is taking the concept to neighbouring Wakefield.

Huddersfield links remain strong as sponsors include the Lockwood-based Mid Yorkshire Chamber of Commerce, the town’s Media Centre and Golcar’s SMileS SMS.

They are joined by Barclays, Ramsdens Solicitors – which has offices in Huddersfield – and Wakefield Trinity Wildcats.

The first meeting will be held from 12.30pm to 1.30pm on Friday at The Priory Bar in Wakefield. The event is free to attend and no registration is required.
