The first informal coffee meet up of The Glasgow
Communicators Networking Group was held earlier this month and
attended by internal communicators from across the city's financial
and business services community.
It's an informal group of professionals established in 2014
by NFU Mutual, with support from IFSD Glasgow. The group has staged
several well attended evening events, with an emphasis on
encouraging best practice, sharing and development of the
profession.
The first coffee meet up aimed to explore ways to build the
network of internal communicators, create the opportunity to
discuss challenges and successes and stimulate discussion on how to
develop internal communications across organisations.
Organisers judged the coffee meet up format so successful
that they now plan to stage regular drop in coffee meet ups, as
well as their more formal after work events which typically feature
expert speakers.
A local Trussell Trust foodbank was also supported by those
attending the coffee meet up, bringing in a very healthy level of
donations.
