Danaka Grindle

I build the rooms where people connect, and I do it for the organisations that need it to happen well.

My work covers three main areas:

Membership growth as a Membership Advisor for FSB (Federation of Small Businesses).

Community and events delivery as an associate of Brightstar, where I support the events programmes for AccelerateHer and Investing Women Angels, and serve as an Events Committee member for Fife Women in Business.

Event production: I have delivered over 30 events through my own work, plus a weekly newsletter, The Networking Roundup, that curates the business networking scene. I help small businesses grow with clarity, confidence, and the right connections across Fife by hosting local networking events.

I’m increasingly working as a fractional events project manager, brought in by membership bodies, networks and growing organisations that need experienced event and community delivery without a full-time employee.
