“Good event on Wednesday. I met the MD of a 50 strong company at one of your Leeds events. We immediately struck up a common understanding and I secured an appointment to discuss more about our work supporting employers in the area of Personnel Management and Employment law. Outcome - I have secured a three year contract to support this employer on Personnel and HR matters. The even better news is that they are looking to expand and have other needs that we can meet.

“I first became aware of networking 3 months ago, when I was introduced to it by Mark Greenwood from Networking4Business. I went along to an evening event for networking unsure as what to do. Myself and my partner went round the room and spoke to people about PTP and what we do, since then I have never looked back. From that night I made several good contacts that I have followed up and these have been very lucrative for me. As well as gaining a great deal of business, my confidence with talking to businesses has also grown and I have developed my own business in a direction that I had not thought of before. Additionally I have made some good friends from networking that I now speak to regularly.” Nick Adams of Psych Therapy Practice
“This was my first “proper” networking event. The speaker was amazing. More to the point I have made 2 very valuable contacts. So I am delighted and will certainly attend more of your events. I came with a totally open mind and was really impressed with the professionalism and quality of the event. Enjoyable and very very useful.” Ros Coleman of The Ridgewalk Consultancy
“Thank you for arranging a great event. I really enjoyed it & got a lot from it as did my guests. The speaker was excellent in his delivery. Keep up the good work.” Joy Roscoe of Roscoe Haigh Pawlett
“I have attended events held by other networking groups in the past that didn't really fit our needs so was sceptical when approached by Networking4Business. I gave them a go and now attend their events on a regular basis. Their events are enjoyable, with no pressure and certainly bring in the business!” Malcolm Duxbury of Walshaw Motor Bodies
“Having decided that networking would be a good way to promote the business and to generate new leads, I then took some time looking at various networking events. I found quite a number to be about as useful as a chocolate teapot and were really only interested in promoting the networking organiser rather than the companies involved. Working with Network4Business however, has been a pleasurable and beneficial experience. Not only is it a friendly atmosphere at the meetings, it actually works and generates new business opportunities. Well done to Mark for setting it up and making it such a success!” Derek Pinion of Chiron Solutions
“You may recall that we met twice recently at a Network Meetings – not surprisingly perhaps as we both recognise the value of networking regularly. I found my two visits to your South Manchester venue enjoyable & worthwhile. I would have no hesitation in recommending others to visit & see for themselves! Better still, at the meetings I had met Stephanie Heude of Charme Graphics with whom I have now established a strong working relationship. Stephanie has enabled me to significantly widen the scope of my activities but had I not attended your meetings I may not have met her. One more example of the worth of networking and attending other Networks.” Bill Hulse of E Combuilder North West
