What happened at our Digital Friday event in September

On the last Friday of September we held our most recent Digital Friday event at Guildford Library.

Our morning event was Connecting to your customers with social media. The session was led by Janet Ludley who gave a very interesting presentation on how your business can benefit by using social media.

The session advised business owners on how to build a social media plan for their company and which social network platform would work best.

Guildford has a proud history as a hub of science and technology, with the world-class Research Park hosting some incredible pioneering companies.
