Think of us as the grown-ups of networking

When it comes to networking, we’ve been there and done it and we’re here to stop you spending dull, fruitless hours at traditional networking events where all you take away is a lukewarm coffee. We understand how to bring the right people together at the right time to get the very best results.

Our ethos is simple

We bring together small groups of aspirational, motivated business owners and directors who are keen to share their own experience and knowledge and learn from other like-minded individuals.

Our carefully curated membership means the atmosphere in every group is ripe for the opportunities to flow.

Our meetings are structured

This means you know what you’re going to get, everyone comes prepared, and we make the most of every second. We make networking a core element of your business success, rather than an occasional chore.

Our monthly members only meetings provide plenty of scope for getting involved, whether you want to be part of a discussion, lead a CPD session linked to your skillset, take a turn to host or just fine-tune your elevator pitch. With a clear agenda shared ahead of time, you’ll know just what to expect and be able to make the most of each meeting.

Alongside this, our groups also host a guest meeting each month with members encouraged to bring along a connection who they feel will be a great addition to the session, whether that’s a client, colleague or a friend. Whilst some guests could be potential new members this isn’t the driver for these sessions. The guest meetings are about introducing new faces and helping you to build those all-important lasting relationships to bolster your business.
