A Welsh millionaire is poised to offer top business tips to The Dragons of Newport Business Network Group tomorrow morning (Wednesday) in Newport.

The free networking event, held at the Business Lounge, Rodney Parade, Newport, and starting at 7am, will hear from Wales millionaire Paul Ragan.

The event promises not only to connect more than 150 businesses but will also deliver facilitated networking as well as the motivational talk by Paul Ragan, the EBA Millionaire Mentor who was featured in Channel 4′s The Secret Millionaire.

Paul became Wales’ youngest multi millionaire in 1978.

Sponsored by Newport-based international construction consultants Lewis and Lewis Ltd International, the Dragons of Newport Network is unusual as it is made up of representatives of only one business from each trade or profession.

The Dragons of Newport believes although this may on one the hand be regarded as restrictive however on the other it believes it allows members to provide quality referrals and not to have to compete for work among other group members.

Lewis Lewis, director of Corporate & Client Services, said: “We are delighted to be sponsors of the Dragons of Newport business networking event. As a business based in Newport we believe in investing within the local community and engaging wherever possible with other local organisations to create a city of which we can all be profoundly proud.”

Lewis said: “Since being involved and attending the Dragons of Newport business events I have been able to see first hand that the members are enthusiastic business professionals who have one common goal - to bring each other as much new business as is possible.

“Meetings start early however we are highly motivated and very well organised with a sense of everyone being important to the group’s current and future success.”
