🌟 Looking to grow your network without the awkwardness?
We’re big believers that great business relationships start with a good conversation, and that’s exactly what Ruddi’s Rockstars is all about. 🎸
The Ruddi’s Rockstars Monthly Business Networking Event is a relaxed, friendly opportunity to meet local business owners, entrepreneurs and like-minded people, make genuine connections and hopefully discover a few opportunities along the way.
📍 Ruddi’s Café, Slaithwaite
🗓️ First Tuesday of every month
⏰ 8:30am–10:30am
And this month, there’s an extra reason to get involved. 💛
September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, and we’ll be Going Gold to show our support for @ruddisretreat Charity and the families they support.
The best bit is, you’re not just networking… by getting involved, you’re helping support an amazing cause. 💛
There’s no pressure, no forced elevator pitches and no need to walk in knowing anyone. Just good people, good conversations, and a great opportunity to connect while supporting something that really matters.

🗨️ There`s something about good conversation and chocolate chip cookies that just works! 🍪
Yesterday we spent the morning at Ruddi`s Retreat Rockstar Networking, and with it being National Chocolate Chip Cookie Day, everyone had the chance to make their very own personalised cookies, all while catching up with familiar faces and meeting some new ones too.
It was a brilliant reminder that networking doesn`t have to be formal. Sometimes the best conversations happen when you`re laughing over who`s made the most colourful (or questionable!) cookie.
A big thank you to everyone who came along and to the team at @ruddisretreat for putting on another fantastic event. We always leave feeling inspired by the amazing businesses and people in our local community.
If you`ve never been before, we`d definitely recommend giving it a try. We`d love to see you at the next one!

As you may already know, Janet is one of the mentors for businesses on The @huddersfielduni Huddersfield Health Innovation Incubator that works alongside Kirklees Council`s Thrive programme.
Janet is currently mentoring a few of the businesses that are being supported by the HHII and Thrive programmes. Hana, who`s business is @bornofnecessity is one of those mentees.
It`s been an absolute pleasure to work with you Hana. Your background and personal story for why and how you set your business up needs to be heard.
We just know you`re going to go from strength to strength, and yes to THRIVE!
If you know a business that is in the health and wellbeing sector, then encourage them to apply through the Huddersfield Health Innovation Incubator website. Such a great resource for businesses.
Did you know that MY Network, of which Social Progress are one of the current partners, along with @themediacentre and @midyorkshirechamber was first launched in 2013?
It was previously called Kirklees and Calderdale Business Group but then changed to become The Mid Yorkshire Network or MY Network Huddersfield as it`s more commonly known now.
The founding partners were The Media Centre, Mid Yorkshire Chamber of Commerce, Ramsdens Solicitors and SMileS SMS who were based in Golcar.
But since that time there has been a number of different partners come and go. Yet for the past ten years The Media Centre, Mid Yorkshire Chamber of Commerce and ourselves, Social Progress have always remained at the core of the networking events.
We`re all passionate about providing a welcoming space for all businesses in and around Huddersfield. Our ethos is to connect people and help grow the networks of those attending.
Meetings happen on the third Wednesday monthly, between 9am and 11am.
There`s no membership fee, no sign ups. Just come along, buy a refreshment from reception and chat to other likeminded business.
Over the past couple of meetings we`ve also been joined by @ruddishuddersfield selling delicious hand made cakes to raise much needed funds for the charity @ruddisretreat
📅 So why not pop it in your calendar now and join us next time on Wednesday, 19th August.

Earlier this week, we had the pleasure of attending the @ruddisretreat`s Networking event and what a brilliant morning it was! 🍫
It was great to spend time chatting with so many local businesses, hearing about the exciting things everyone has going on and making some new connections along the way.
With it being World Chocolate Day, the highlight of the morning had to be creating our own personalised chocolate bars… a fun and delicious addition to an already fantastic event! 🍫
A huge thank you to the team at Ruddi`s Retreat for hosting another welcoming and enjoyable networking evening. We`re already looking forward to the next one!

🎉 Happy Birthday to the one and only Janet! 🎉
Today we`re celebrating the amazing woman behind Social Progress, chief problem solver, marketing mastermind and quite possibly the UK`s most frequent holidaymaker... we`re starting to suspect she only runs a business to fund her next trip away! ✈️🌴🍹
In all seriousness, Janet puts her heart and soul into everything she does and works incredibly hard helping businesses grow while somehow still finding time to rack up more air miles than the rest of us put together.
So today, the emails can wait, the notifications can stay unread and the holiday brochures are officially allowed back out for a bit of birthday planning research. 🎂🎁😆
Have an amazing day, Janet... you deserve it!
Join us in wishing her a very Happy Birthday! 🥳🎈

Every experience is a chance to learn something new. 🌟
We loved having Jess with us for their work experience and seeing her confidence, skills and ideas grow along the way.

Head our website to find out what Jess got up to and what she took away from her time at Social Progress. 💙

Capturing a bird`s-eye view! 🚁
Our work experience student recently headed out to Blackmoorfoot Reservoir to watch us capture aerial footage using our drone. It was a great opportunity to gain knowledge on drone technology while also seeing how difficult it can be to fly it, despite how easy it may look. 😅
From seeing Alex fly the drone to then editing the clips herself afterwards, it was a fantastic day of learning, developing new skills, and exploring the different roles technology can play in shaping different career paths, especially in this new world of tech.
