The next meeting is on Thursday June 16th at the Drayton Court Hotel, 2 The Avenue, Ealing, W13, at 7.30pm and will feature a presentation by graphic designer PAT BURTENSHAW who will talk about creating an image or a 'brand' for your business. She says " With so many resources on the market today to allow you to design your own logo and stationery, it's tempting to have a go and do it yourself. BUT are you sure you know enough about the psychology behind colour, fonts and layouts to ensure that the design reflects you and your business in the best light, AND has the impact to make people notice you within the SEVEN SECONDS it takes for someone to form a first impression"
The next regular meeting will be on the 19th of May 2005 at 7.30pm. The venue will be the Ealing Cricket Club now that their building work has been completed. Speaking this month will be Harry Petrovini and Rodney Sulkin.

"Putting people first, and business second
No person ever bought anything from a company or organisation - and never will.
When you booked your airline ticket over the phone or ordered a book online, you experienced a personal ëvoiceí representing the company.
Itís that ëvoiceí that makes people feel comfortable in doing business with you."
