A NETWORKING group launched by a Cullingworth businessman is expanding.

The 'How To....' sessions – currently held alternately each month at Cougar Park in Keighley and the Kala Sangam Centre, Forster Square, Bradford – are being extended to Leeds.

Andrew Vaux, director of ARVA PR & Events, set-up the group last November.

"Unlike many other networking groups this aims to be powerful and focused," he said

"Having established a base in the Aire Valley, I now want to give businesses in other areas the chance to benefit from the group's different approach to networking and I'm very much looking forward to rolling it out across Leeds.

"In time, I'm also hoping to explore opportunities to run the group in other parts of the UK through associate partners."

The inaugural Leeds meeting takes place at The Mill @ Scott Hall, Potternewton Mount, at 7.30am on May 6.

The next Cougar Park meeting is at 7.30am on May 21, when there will be a speaker from Airedale Enterprise Services.
