Hook Norton Self-Employed Group

A key factor in the initial formation group was the bringing together of people recently finding themselves establishing new self employed businesses for the first time. Several of these people had recently gone through unexpected job changes through redundancy and experiencing the associated emotional issues  Sharing the challenges and uncertainties of establishing a business, while making large lifestyle changes, was helpful for the group. The challenge as the group develops, is to maintain a stimulating environment which attracts and provides value to people at many stages of their business development.  
 
Our objective is to provide a forum and network to inspire business growth and to discuss and find solutions to the practical issues associated with running a business from home. Our group brings together people from varied backgrounds and with different levels of experience, several of our members have been in business for many years. We aim to provide opportunity to combine business oriented topics with aspects of motivation and inspiration and support in a friendly non-intimidating forum.
