🎣 Member Spotlight | Congratulations Mike!

We’re delighted to see Mike Horn, one of our Fife Networking members, currently sitting in pole position for the top prize in the Heaviest Cod League.

Based in Kirkcaldy, Mike landed an impressive 6lb 1oz cod during round two, putting him at the top of the leaderboard with three legs still to go — no small feat given the challenging sea conditions on the day.

It’s always great to celebrate the achievements of our members, both in business and beyond. Best of luck to Mike for the remaining rounds — we’ll be keeping an eye on the results!

🎄 Our Final Fife Networking Meeting of 2025! 🎄

We wrapped up the year this morning with plenty of festive spirit — Christmas jumpers, good laughs and even a surprise visit!

Congratulations to Michael Crookston and Ed Waugh, who took home today’s prizes. Well deserved!

As part of our Christmas tradition, we were proud to donate to two charities close to our hearts: Love Oliver and Fife Gingerbread. Their work makes a real difference to families at a time of year when support matters most.

This marks the end of an incredible year for the group:
✨ 900 referrals shared amongst members — a fantastic testament to the strength of our network and the commitment of everyone involved.

Thank you to every member, visitor and supporter who contributed to such a wonderful 2025.

Wishing you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year when it comes! 💙

What a fantastic day and night we had at our Christmas Party! A huge thank you to Lóuie Brown's and HUGOS Bar & Pavilion for looking after us so well.

There may have been one too many sore heads the next morning… but plenty of brilliant memories were made, and that’s what it’s all about! 🤣🍾✨

We’re now heading into our final meeting of the year this week, and looking forward to rounding off what has been an incredible year for the group.

Here’s to 2026!

🙏 A Powerful Morning at Fife Networking – Thank You Colin Brown

This morning we had the privilege of hearing from Colin Brown (Gambling Leap), who bravely shared his journey through 25 years of gambling addiction and the extraordinary turnaround he has made in his life.

Colin’s honesty, vulnerability and determination left a real impact on the room.
His message was clear: addiction can affect anyone, and support truly matters.

Through Gambling Leap, Colin now speaks in schools, workplaces and communities, helping others understand the realities of addiction, the stigma attached to it, and—most importantly—that recovery is possible. His upcoming LEAP Recovery App aims to give people discreet, practical tools to find accountability and rebuild confidence, inspired by Colin’s own recovery journey.

What he shared today was powerful, brave and important.
Addiction doesn’t always look the way people expect, and many struggle in silence. By speaking openly, Colin is helping create the awareness and compassion our communities desperately need.

A huge thank you to Colin for joining us today and for the work he’s doing to support people across Fife and beyond. If anyone is struggling—or knows someone who might be—please share his page or reach out.
