The boss of a leading order fulfilment business in the county has been named as one of the local ambassadors for a string of events to help the economy as we exit the pandemic.

Samantha Anderson, founder and managing director of Ofex (Order Fulfilment Experts), based in Rochester, will be the local figurehead for Entrepreneurs Circle, which has thousands of members across the UK.

Entrepreneurs Circle (EC) is led by serial entrepreneur Nigel Botterill. It exists to deliver support, advice and inspiration to business owners across the UK.

It will be behind a number of special networking events nationwide - one of which takes place in the county next week - with the aim of delivering the best methods of modern marketing and, crucially, getting and keeping customers.

Sam said: "I am so excited to be a part of this roll-out because we are on a mission to make a difference and to share advice, ideas and the odd bit of inspiration. All of the local ambassadors are business owners and we will be discussing tried and trusted methods that we know work."

She will be running the first in a series of monthly networking meetings at The Village Hotel in Maidstone on July 29 from 6-7.30pm.

Attendance is free for Entrepreneurs Circle members. Non-members can apply for a trial membership and find out more details by clicking here.
