Welcome to Jelly Co-Working Events in Shropshire
A chance to get out of the (home) office and work alongside other like-minded business people for a day or evening a month.
Kindly hosted for FREE by Enterprise HQ in COALPORT, Ironbridge, The IronWorks in OSWESTRY, Ludlow Food Centre near LUDLOW and Shropshire Food Enterprise Centre in Shrewsbury in fabulous serviced meeting rooms.
SHREWSBURY Jelly will start 27th September 2010
What is Jelly?
Jelly is a casual monthly co-working event, where homeworkers, freelancers, small business owners and office based people who want a change of environment once in a while can get together with their laptops once a month to have a change from their usual workplace, meet some new people and work together in a social environment.
- Jelly is mainly about work with a bit of chat, sharing ideas, helping others with business issues, passing on tips and maybe even collaborating on the birth of a new project.
- Jelly is not networking - the aim is not to meet new clients, pitch your business or try to sell - anyone blatantly doing this will NOT be popular. There are plenty of excellent networking groups within Shropshire you can go to. Jelly was started in the States and is now increasingly popular in the UK with over 30 active co-working groups already.
- So if you ever feel isolated in your home office/work office and want to meet some other like-minded people in a different work environment, then Jelly is for you - its FREE so jump on in and give it a try!
