Social Media Marketing - Raw Business School Richmond - 27th May 2010 - With Julie Hall

Raw Business School is a face to face networking event that combines business networking with business education. So many businesses fail because many Entrepreneurs lack the necessary knowledge and business skills required to help them navigate, at times, perilous and unforgiving journey of being in business. If Entrepreneurs knew what they would have to give up in pursuing their dreams before they started, would they have actually started their business? Entrepreneur School can have an impact on business success rates by providing a unique opportunity for Entrepreneurs and business owners to build an extended support network of like-minded people whilst gaining valuable skills.

We already have a number of Network members who have put themselves forward to act as a Raw Business School Leader and during the next three months we plan to have up to 20 ES locations across the UK with Chelmsford being the ES HQ.

We welcome you to join us at the Raw Business School Richmond and experience something fresh and exciting which will add real value to your business.

Robert Copping

After graduating in Physics, Robert began his career with British Aerospace as a Technical Engineer and progressed to the project management of multinational defence contracts.

In 1990, Robert became Commercial Manager of a subsidiary of the Rank Organisation and when the company was bought by Schroeder Venture Capitalists in 1996 he became Global Projects Director.

Robert launched Sightpath Limited in 2006, which uses its unique software system to deliver a highly effective Business Development Service. He and his Business Catalysts have now modelled many different businesses to create Business Development Plans, which have successfully helped clients to obtain finance or simply to grow with reduced risk. Sightpath plans have been used to successfully obtain loans backed by the Government’s Enterprise Finance Guarantee Scheme.

Robert has now encapsulated much of what has been learned in an acclaimed book: ‘The Heart of Business Success – How to Overcome the Catch-22s of Growing Your Business’ and is regularly invited to speak to business groups on the subject.
