FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE. Sydney, Australia 5 November 2010

Janna Fikh, owner of Fletcher Tax Accountants, and Leah Klugt, owner of Inkblot Design Studio, have joined together to create the Jolly Solo, an end of year Christmas Party designed specifically to give solo business operators and those with a very small team the opportunity to celebrate their year in style.

The Jolly Solo will be held on Thursday, 9^th December in the Atrium at the Greengate Hotel in Killara in Sydney’s northern suburbs.

“Being a solo business operator is generally a fulfilling way to spend my day-to-day working life,” says Janna. “I manage to connect with other business owners online and in person through networking events and client meetings. But, as this is my first year in my own practice I realised that what I’m going to miss out on is a Christmas Party.”

“As I look after a lot of micro/small businesses in my professional capacity – I knew there would be more people in the same boat as me,” she adds.

The Jolly Solo event is designed to provide solo business owners and those with small teams with the opportunity to go to a great venue enjoy a sumptuous dinner and have the benefit of the wisdom of great speakers, as well as having the chance to network in a comfortable and relaxed environment.

The event came about through a chance conversation over Twitter between organisers Janna and Leah.

“Leah and I had the same idea separately,” says Janna. “But we were missing each other’s respective strengths and through our conversation we realised that we could make this work together.”

By combining their specialities the two small business owners were able to create an event that would provide micro and small business owners with the same sort of end of year celebration that many of them would have experienced in their prior days in corporate Australia.

“Janna took on the entertainment and budget aspects,” says Leah. “And I set out to target the marketing and branding for the event.”

“Our aims for the event are twofold,” Leah says. “Firstly it is to celebrate the year that has been in our respective businesses, and secondly to cement or increase our connections with other business owners for both support and business networking.”

The night will kick off with some general networking and mingling over a drink or two, followed by a sumptuous three course dinner. During dinner the pair have lined up three uplifting speakers to talk about issues relating to small business. The evening will be rounded off with plenty of Christmas cheer and small business camaraderie.

“I hope that people will leave the event rejuvenated, inspired and having made or cemented some great connections with people in a similar set-up as themselves, and be ready to take on the New Year with vigour,” says Janna.
