A reminder that our next networking will be on Tuesday 13th July.

At this meeting, we welcome Neil Thompson. His talk is titled: Tips and Tricks for keeping your business secure online.

Trading online is essential for any business but doing so comes with a number of potential risks as third parties try and get access to your business-critical information and resources. In this talk, Neil will take you through simple things you can do to help stay safe online and avoid ransomware attacks, phishing, and being pwned.

Neil is COO of Workinconfidence,an online platform for sending anonymous messages, where security is paramount. With over thirty years of experience in IT and software development working for a variety of organisations Neil has much experience in keeping businesses secure.

Following on from Neil's talk they’ll be plenty of time for networking in our virtual breakout rooms.

Now that Boris says we should all be back at work if we can, I am open again for pruning, mowing, edging, weeding, planting or advice. I can come to your garden if I can access it in a socially distant way, or I can offer advice virtually if you send me some photos and questions.

Before you start gardening, remember to put on your PPE: sunscreen, sunglasses, hat, gardening gloves and GOOD FOOTWEAR. Enjoy the fresh air and just do a bit, then enjoy what you've done.
