Networking at St Pauls Mercure with Sheffield Chamber of Commerce

Wednesday 8th September saw us pay a visit to St Pauls Mercure hotel in Sheffield (next to the equally excellent Winter Gardens). The free lunch (it seems there is such a thing!) was organised by Sheffield Chamber of Commerce as part of their Business Networking month.

It was the first Chamber event we had been to, and also the first time we'd been in the hotel. All round excellence! Hotel is great, with a superb hot buffet lunch. The networking itself was very pleasant and didn't feel forced. Didn't quite get to push Quad's Sheffield-based software development services, but we will hopefully help one new client with their website.

Well done everyone!

This means that opting for a passphrase composed of words or phrases that have personal significance can make it easier to recall your password accurately, reducing the likelihood of resorting to less secure methods like writing it down. Additionally, words can still provide formidable security when combined with best practices like mixing upper and lower case let
