Thames Valley LEP LinkedIn Group
In my world I can’t just expect the government to hand me a cheque for £100k a year to feather my nest, I have to go out and find it.

I have encouraged and enabled business men and women, decision makers, to find me via the search engines as this is where many are likely to go to find information on a topic. We may phone a friend but if we are computer literate we’ll type in our question to Google and see what pops up.

Currently searches around Thames Valley LEP are finding our old Business in Berkshire TVEP web space which, since Thames Valley Economic Partnership was dissolved a few months ago had been sitting vacant. I have converted this to report the news on what is happening around the LEPs locally and will publish news if councils and business leaders choose to send it in to us.

Makes sense if you want people to read what you have to say outside your peer group … councils are not used to that, they have preferred to keep things to themselves but the world is changing and if they are going to get with today’s programme then they’d better pull their fingers out and start connecting with people like me who can assist them.

The Thames Valley is looking forward to welcoming a new Local Enterprise Partnership in the near future, once the government has reviewed the applications that have been made from local businesses and councils.

Since many are finding us when looking for information I figured it makes sense to lead them to somewhere they can ask questions, as I have to earn a living doing proper work and can’t be distracted too much by the shifting sands.

What I can do is turn this into an opportunity for me and mine.

I have created a group on Thames Valley LEP LinkedIn Group for people to connect … some will be comfortable with LinkedIn, many will not … but there are hundreds of thousands of people across the region who are members on LinkedIn and so is the most sensible place to have the conversations.

LinkedIn to business is like Facebook to your kids, millions of fans.

For those who are unsure about how to use LinkedIn then we run a monthly starter course in Reading. For those looking for more advanced training we have just launched an online course which starts on October 6th, LinkedIn for Sales and Marketing professionals.

And very shortly we’ll be launching an offline event in Marlow where you can come and learn more about LinkedIn and what social media can do for you and your business. Tune in… www.howtouselinkedin.co.uk

Please connect to the Thames Valley LEP LinkedIn Group via
www.berkshirethamesvalley.co.uk and tell your pals.

If you are new to this LEP world then look out for David Knowles-Leak as he is the chap I am referring everyone to.
