Brought to you by ENC Business Service Partners, Identify and Culture Collab, this is your opportunity to network, learn, and grow with North Canterbury women in business at the Better Business Brunch! Good food, real connections, & inspiration.
Ready to start your day with a boost of inspiration, solid support, and a fantastic meal with other North Canterbury women in business? Welcome to the Better Business Brunch! This monthly meetup isn’t about polished pitches or stiff networking; it’s a warm, real space where we can show up, learn together, and forge connections that last longer than a business card exchange.
Here’s what you can expect:
🕘 8:45-9:30 am: Roll in, settle down, grab your coffee, and dive into easy conversations with fellow business owners who know what it’s like to juggle everything. No pressure, just real chats with real people. (We know some of you may be doing school drop offs – so as long as you are ready to go at 9:30 we’re happy to see you!)
We’ll remind you to go get your brunch from about 9:15
🍽️ 9:30-10:25 am: Brunch is served! While you enjoy a tasty spread, we’ll dive into the heart of the event – a speaker session designed to give you practical insights and a fresh perspective. Kicking off our first session, Rachel Klaver will share “Killer Beginner Tips for Showing Up More in Your Small Business.” Real talk, real tips and hopefully soem real reasons to laugh (and adopt her saying ‘you can’t kill a man with your face!)
💬 10:25-11 am: As we wrap up, there’s time to reflect, discuss, and connect with others at your table. The focus? Building relationships that help each of us thrive in our unique business journeys.
Whether you’re here to learn, to connect, or simply to enjoy a productive morning surrounded by supportive women, the Better Business Brunch is for you. Grab your ticket, and let’s build something better—together.
Brought to you by Rachel Klaver from Identify Marketing, Hayley Smith from Culture Collab, Tsarina Dellow from Shore Dellow Accountants, and Sel Leigh from Leigh Development.

Want to grow a more profitable local business with marketing that s simple and doens’t cost the earth?
The first is to do a good job. I reckon you’re all over that already
The second is to accept that you will need to find and keep a bit of time every week to do your marketing. If you do that, and commit to it, then you will see amazing results.Marketing a business within in a specific location is much easier than trying to market to a wider, nationwide/ broader audience
There’s lots of things you don’t need, and there’s some “quick fixes” you can do to really improve your visibility, awareness and get those leads coming in.
We believe that even for businesses with full books, marketing is a security blanket to keep those leads coming in no matter what
We’re going to cover:
- How to maximise the free marketing options you have
- What you must do
- What you can avoid
- Why you don’t need to spend large amounts on others managing your marketing
- What budgets you should consider
- How to make old school marketing and digital marketing work together
You’ll come away with simple actions you can do right away to improve your marketing
I promise that:
- I will talk in clear language and avoid jargon
- I will not give you a plan that’s impossible to achieve
- I will provide real life examples applicable to your business
Why is this free?
AmberleyNZ is awesome – and asked me to come speak!
I’m proud to live in North Canterbury and want to help local businesses in my area thrive and grow.
As a business we’ve steadfastly committed to adding value, and supporting small to medium business owners.
I can promise you it will be packed full of value and you will come out with actionable tasks, tips and ideas to incorporate into your business straight away
Who Should Come
if you’ve got a business that caters to a local area, this is perfect for you. If you cater to a wider area, or nationwide/ international it will still have nuggets, but you may find some parts not as suitable
