Would you like to improve your networking skills and visibility, develop your personal brand, and build connection and community in your working life?

To say that Kirsty gets networking is an understatement.
Networking Matters
‘Networking Matters’ is one of Kirsty’s core mantras in business. This is reflected in the fact that her networking newsletter and the networking learning group she runs in her home-town of Warrington both adopt this name.
Kirsty has invested over 20 years in building business relationships – nurturing commitment at all levels of the supply chain. Her interpersonal and communication skills broker new opportunities for clients, associates and further stakeholders in the projects she takes on.
Kirsty prides herself on being a growth enabler, connector of people and problem-solver by introducing people to the right contacts to solve their personal or business challenges.
Kirsty is well-connected and offers time-saving and supportive access to solutions, contacts and resources. If she doesn’t have the direct answer to your business challenges, she will know someone who does.
Kirsty's knowledge of networking is never-ending.
Championing business growth and innovation
Kirsty has helped hundreds of businesses to grow and problem-solve by providing ideas, learning environments and valuable connections.
Kirsty has also promoted Warrington and Cheshire’s place on the regional and national business event map – attracting significant investment in new business and community support projects.
Constantly pursuing opportunities to innovate, Kirsty is an architect of novel concepts and a facilitator of business success stories.
Trading names and event brands associated with Kirsty have included Colony Networking, Colony Women, Colony Wellbeing, Warrington Business Expo, KTS Women in Business, and Club90. In 2022, the various event and consultancy businesses she managed were consolidated into a single business – Kirsty James Consulting.
