Business Networking Event to Raise Funds for Charity

Tnetworking for charity imagehe Shaw Marketing Services’ Manilva networking group has announced that 100% of the proceeds from their 18th March event will be donated to The Duquesa Charitable Association of St George.

This monthly, bilingual networking event is usually just for women, but this special fundraising event will be open to all business people on the Western Costa del Sol to give entrepreneurs a friendly and open environment to build their network, find suppliers and make new contacts, whilst raising money for a great cause.

This group is led by marketing and networking expert Georgina Shaw from Shaw Marketing Services, who is passionate about creating a strong group to support the local business community and wants to use this platform to raise money for charity. “I strongly believe that all businesses should make a positive impact on their community and our March networking event will be a great way to support businesses whilst raising much needed funds. We hope as many people as possible will come and take part.”

Dean Tyler Shelton, President of The Duquesa Charitable Association of St George and Area Director at Manilva Town Hall will be attending the event to show his support. Dean commented “I’m thrilled to not only have been invited along to this event, that I personally believe to be optimal for the future positioning of Manilva as a business centre or place to do business on the Costa del Sol and wider Spain, but that they have also chosen our small local charity to be the receiver of the proceeds of the event.”

The networking event costs 5€ to include the networking activities and refreshments and all proceeds will be donated to The Duquesa Charitable Association of St George. The event is being held at CIVIMA (Manilva Wine Museum) from 18.30-20.00 and all business people are welcome.

Data Protection in the 21st C Foundations

data protection “POOR DATA PROTECTION PRACTICES RISK DAMAGING YOU MOST VALUABLE ASSET  – YOUR CORPORATE REPUTATION”

Thursday 12th February 2015, 10.00-13.00, Andalucia Lab, Marbella

Trainer – Data Protection Expert & Professional Trainer Peter Bosbury

Course Overview

If you and your personnel do not know or understand how to maintain confidentiality of information, or, how to secure it appropriately, not only do you risk having one of your most valuable business assets (information) mishandled, inappropriately used, or obtained by unauthorized persons, your organisation also risks being non-compliant when viewed against the requirements of the European and Spanish Data Protection legislation.

Protecting Data held by businesses is not only essential ethically, but also, demanded legislatively. The Foundations course acts both as an introduction to the topic of Data Protection and as an annual Continuous Professional Development (CPD) refresher course for all employees.

This 3 hour Data Protection Foundations course is geared to promote knowledge and understanding of individuals and companies, their roles and responsibilities when dealing with Data and, in particular, recognising the difficulties of Data Risk Management in the world of modern cross-border communications in the 21st Century. The course makes use of videos, interactive practical sessions and full presentation facilities to communicate the material. There are a number of hand-outs made available for delegates to take back into their work place for future reference.

Cost – 75€ per person
