A THRIVING media training club launched by Worcester-based consultancy Chris Green Media has celebrated its first anniversary.

The CGM Business Media Club, which meets on the last Friday of every month at Wild Wood Rooms in the city, combines media training, personal development and quality networking in a sharing setting for business owners, managers and marketing staff.

At the anniversary meeting, members provided tales of inspiration relating to specific club themes covered at the club over the past year, including public speaking, running media campaigns, blogging and using video, which had benefitted their businesses.

Guest speakers included two CGM partners - renowned sports author and broadcaster Tom Watt and Graham Essenhigh of video specialists Bubble Production – along with David Ledbury of GrowthAccelerator, which helps businesses develop their leadership and management teams.

CGM managing director Chris Green: "We were delighted that so many members and visitors from the business community came along to share our anniversary celebrations and we look forward to growing the club and supporting our members over the next 12 months."

The next meeting of the Business Media Club is on Friday, November 28 when the topic will be building a marketing campaign on LinkedIn. Visitors are welcome to attend. For more details, call 01905 453908 or email info@chrisgreenmedia.co.uk
