Where networking works

🤝 Another great morning at Fife Networking!

This morning, we heard from two of our members who shared their expertise and, importantly, helped us understand where we can make valuable introductions and referrals.

💷 Mike Horn – Funding for British Business

Mike gave us an insight into the different funding options available to businesses, from asset and equipment finance to working capital, property finance and business loans.

He also highlighted the importance of understanding the true cost of borrowing, explaining the difference between flat interest rates and APR, alongside real examples of how he has helped businesses secure funding to support growth and investment.

⚡ Christopher Inglis – 24 Electrics

Chris took a different approach to his presentation, getting everyone thinking about the businesses and contacts within their own networks.
Through an interactive referral challenge, he highlighted the range of electrical services 24 Electrics provides across Fife, including electrical inspections, emergency lighting, repairs, upgrades and EV charging.
A great reminder that sometimes the best referral opportunities are already sitting within our existing contacts!

We also welcomed Chris Mantle from Fife Young Carers as our visitor this morning. It was great to have you along!

My biggest bit of advice to anyone looking for an apprenticeship is simple:

Be the person you said you were on your CV and in your interview.

Turn up on time. Be keen. Listen. Take pride in your work and stay off your phone.

If an employer can see that you’re committed, they’ll want to spend the time teaching you.

Getting the opportunity is one thing. What you do with it is what matters.

Are young people really lazy, or are expectations wrong on both sides?

Young people need to understand that an apprenticeship is a commitment. Turn up, stay off Snapchat, listen and be willing to learn.

But businesses also need to remember they’re taking on an apprentice, not a fully qualified tradesperson on lower wages. It takes time, patience and proper training.

I was terrible when I first started, so I think we need to be realistic 😂

What do you think?

A recent emergency lighting test highlighted a few areas needing attention in this office.

We replaced the old 600 × 600 fluorescent fittings with new energy-efficient LED panels, installed additional emergency lights where required, and repaired several dangerous electrical connections we uncovered along the way.

A safer, brighter and more efficient workplace for the client ⚡️

Installation of a new outside light. The customer asked for a long range PIR to be installed alongside the light due to having a large garden path and wanting the light to turn on as soon as she entered her garden.

Went out to have a look at a garage after the customer had concerns about the electrics… and they were right to be concerned ⚡️😬

Some seriously unsafe wiring here that definitely needs putting right.

If you’re unsure about any electrical work in your home, garage or workplace, get it checked — better safe than sorry.
