One of the many unanticipated discoveries of this pandemic was the way our communication methods have morphed – whether for business or pleasure - with online meetings becoming an accepted alternative. Once your SBN Committee knew we couldn’t continue meeting face to face, we embraced the concept and have held our monthly Members’ meetings on Zoom. We were very gratified to welcome up to 30 Members every month to our ‘virtual’ meetings – attracted no doubt by the quality of the amazing speakers who gave up their time to inform and entertain us. As you will know, we are continuing to meet on Zoom for the rest of the year (although our coffee and chat at the Curio Lounge will be 'face to face'), so let’s take a moment to remember the wonderful women we have welcomed in 2020/21 – worth every penny of your annual SBN Membership, we hope you agree! · Karina Methven from Magic Bean Media who gave us essential advice on how to make our social media work harder · Roz Savage MBE, the first woman to row solo across THREE oceans, after giving up her job as a management consultant · Julie Wickham told us about the extraordinary work of the Stroud Valleys Project protecting and enhancing our local environment · Natalie Ferrari from Gloucestershire’s Start and Grow Enterprise outlined the initiative’s FREE support for freelancers, entrepreneurs and new businesses · Our MP, Siobhan Baillie, gave us an insight into her first year juggling being an MP and a mum! · Abi Wood and Delia Parnham Cope opened our eyes to the challenges faced by the new Trustees of the Stroud Subscription Rooms and a tantalising glimpse at its future · Lotte Lyster Connolly, landlord of The Prince Albert pub in Rodborough, shared how the pub’s fortunes have been transformed thanks to being part of the ‘Saving Britain’s Pubs’ TV series with (Gloucester-born) top chef Tom Kerridge · Emily Gravestock from the UK Space Agency took us on a journey out of this world looking at the positive impact of satellites and drones on every part of our day to day lives · Stroud Book Festival’s Louise Brice and Caroline Sanderson told us about the history of the Festival (they have welcomed more than 200 authors over the years) and about this year’s fantastic celebrations due to take place in October! This Autumn, we have another winning streak of speakers including Sabrina Pace-Humphreys, former owner of an award-winning PR agency and now a force in ultra-running and a sought-after motivational speaker; Emma Hall, founder of Silver Spot Ceramics, who will share her experience of growing an online business and Shalize Nicholas, clothes designer and founder of unique luxury clothing label Madia and Matilda, specialising in upcycled and sustainable fabrics. Looking forward to seeing you (online for the time being) in September!

Meeting style 1: Local interest speaker: recent speakers include Stroud MP Siobhan Baillie, Lotte Lyster Connolly of the Prince Albert Pub & Stroud Book Fesival’s Louise Brice and Caroline Sanderson. Meeting style 2: Dedicated to learning new business skills and networking: helping members meet each other using structured and informal networking techniques, so people get to know each other better, and gain more confidence in networking generally. Meeting style 3: Inspirational businesswomen: one keynote business speaker, usually a successful and inspirational businesswoman from in and around the Stroud district, sharing ideas and aspirations. Recent examples are Emily Gravestock from the UK Space Agency and extreme ocean rower Roz Savage MBE. Shout Outs - Within these meetings according to time we offer member 'shout outs' when members get the chance to tell everyone about their business and, hopefully, share some tips and useful information. Back to contents SSBBNN mmeeeettiiinnggss –– PPllleeaassee JJooiiinn UUss!! The Stroud Businesswomen’s Network meets twice a month for two very different types of meetings. Our get-togethers have been very successful and well attended on Zoom over the past 12 months+. Members report feeling very welcome and supported during the meetings, and the sense that they are not alone coping in the current crisis which is hitting many businesses very hard.

  • Gfirst LEP Business Groups Update: August 2020
    GFirst LEP Business Groups Update: August 2020 The following Business groups met ‘virtually’ in August 2020: Business Membership groups | Visitor Economy & Tourism • The Business Group Chairs met virtually on Monday 29th June. GFirst LEP’s CEO, David Owen gave an update on the activities of the LEP including the Economic Recovery Plan for Gloucestershire, responses to the Growth Hub’s Business Intelligence Survey and outbound business calls to the largest 200 businesses in the county. The update also included various collaboration activities: partnering with Glosjobs.co.uk, and supporting Punchline with their Business Champions feature. • Nine of the ten business group Chairs were present at the meeting, and each gave an update on the current state of affairs in their sector. The main areas of concern following COVID-19 were: o a reduction of up to 40% in the demand from civil aerospace industry o Unemployment and re-training will be major issues over the next 3-12 months as businesses fail to recover o The cyber and digital industry is stronger than ever before, and is relevant to all sectors • David Owen thanked the Chairs for their support in the development of the Economic Recovery Plan. The LEP and its business ‘voice’ is all the more richer with a diverse, knowledgeable support network, and by feeding this knowledge into the economic recovery plan, we have created a business-rich report which will compliment the place-based recovery plans being produced by the local authorities and will collectively support Gloucestershire to move forward. The date of the next Business Group Chairs Meeting will be early September 2020 date to be confirmed.

  • Would You Like to Live and Work in England?
    Would you like to live and work in England? The NHS is looking for GPs to work in Gloucestershire NHS England Gateway reference: INTRODUCTION The National Health Service in England is running an international recruitment campaign for family doctors. In England these are called General Practitioners or GPs. We plan to recruit around 2,000 GPs from overseas by 2020. They will work alongside GPs we train in England to develop an exciting range of health services away from hospitals and in local community settings. This brochure explains the importance of GPs in providing healthcare to our population. It tells you about the application process and what to expect when you apply. We are recruiting GPs for many areas across England. This brochure gives you an idea of the benefits and opportunities available to you if you choose to work in Gloucestershire. WHY WORK AS A GP IN ENGLAND? GPs in England are the foundation of the NHS. They are usually the first person a patient turns to for help and they deal with a whole range of health problems. They are general experts in the whole field of medicine for adults and children. They manage the healthcare of all their patients, including acute illness, long term conditions and mental health problems. GPs usually work in practices, often leading teams which include nurses, healthcare assistants, practice managers, receptionists and other staff. Practices also work closely with other healthcare professionals, such as health visitors, midwives, pharmacists, physiotherapists, mental health services and social care services. GPs provide continuing medical care for patients in the community or they will refer patients to hospital clinics for further assessment or treatment by specialists.

    GFirst LEP Business Groups Update: February 2021 The following Business groups met ‘virtually’ in February 2021: Construction & Infrastructure | Banking & Finance Tourism & Visitor Economy | Business Membership • The Business Group Chairs met virtually on Monday 7th December 2020. 7 out of the 10 Chairs attended the meeting. David Owen gave an update on the activity within the LEP including with the Careers Hub launch, the skills portal, the business recovery toolkit. Dev Chakraborty gave an update on business grants, with the Growth Hub receiving £500,000 worth of grant enquiries within 65 minutes. There may also be opportunities for further funding for the county’s ‘Top 3’ infrastructure investments. All Growth Hubs have had funding for EU Exit Advisors which will be in place to offer support until March 2021. GFirst LEP and the Growth Hub will be sponsoring the SoGlos Business Awards in October 2021 with the Annual Review held on the same day as the awards ceremony. Updates from Chairs: • Visitor Economy & Tourism: Gloucestershire is suffering but not as badly as some Northern Towns. Shopping Centers and Market towns seem busy however some shops have decided to remain closed. Christmas markets not taking place will be another blow for the industry. Working with Local Authorities and DMOs to develop a framework for a Tourism Strategy for Gloucestershire. • Retail & the High Street: Place managers are encouraging people to shop locally as independents try to make the most of the weeks running up to Christmas. People spent a lot of money online shopping early on so it’s likely we will see more independent retails fail in the New Year.

Current Audiences 8 4. Target Audiences 11 5. Developmental Audiences 12 6. Strategic Objectives 14 7. Marketing Plan 15 2 Gloucester Tourism and Destination Marketing Strategic Plan 2021 1. Introduction The Tourism and Destination Marketing Plan for Gloucester outlines the objectives and Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) for the Tourism and Destination Marketing Team in 2021. The Destination Team will use this plan to develop marketing tactics and monitor and evaluate all marketing activity against KPIs. It is reviewed by the Destination Team four times a year and feeds into the Team’s working action plan, which outlines the actions and associated workflows to deliver the Marketing Plan over the next 12 months. Its overall aims and objectives correspond to those outlined in the document created in 2020 by Steve Brown entitled ‘The Future Marketing of Gloucester’ and Gloucester City Council’s priorities. Goal Setting – Mission This strategy is developed as a destination marketing plan aimed at attracting visitors to Gloucester in 2021. The plan will also look to build relationships with our partners and stakeholders by providing exemplary support for them in 2021. We want our partners and stakeholders to feel that the best scenario for tourism marketing is to be delivered by the Tourism and Destination Marketing Team in Gloucester City Council. 2. Situational Analysis In February 2020 Marketing Gloucester LTD, a Destination Management Organisation (DMO) folded following several months of financial difficulties. To ensure continuity for the tourism marketing in the city, Gloucester City Council brought two members of staff from Marketing Gloucester into the city council to deliver the tourism marketing for the city including updating visitgloucester.co.uk, meetgloucester.co.uk, filmgloucester.co.uk and social media.
