“I would just like to say the event yesterday was fantastic. It was my first Simply Networking event and I really liked the format and thought the choice of location was ideal. I have made some really good contacts and will highly recommend your event to other people as often as I can. Could you send me some dates for future events, so I can pass these on to my colleagues.” Kevin Wilcox of Accredit Financial Services Ltd
“The lady is a referral to me from Richard Hudson of Vanilla Storm. This all through Simply Networking as that's where I met Richard in first place.” Jeff Thomson PR of Jeff Thomson PR + Copywriting
“As this was my first networking event I had no idea what to expect. It went much better than I thought it could have, the time and place were perfect for me and will be attending more in future for sure. As soon as I walked through the door I was greeted and introduced to the idea of networking and a few tips on getting started, which really helped, and within my first couple of introductions I had made 3 very useful future contacts. Overall the general feel of Simply Networking is a friendly, warm atmosphere. Other networking events have a lot to live up to now.” Kyle Dale of Delicious Solutions
“Like many others, I have looked into a number of networking organisations, and found many to be either too restrictive, or too formal. Your choice of times and venues, along with your flexible approach mean that it is easy to fit networking in to a busy life. From the moment you met me at the door, I felt right at home and actually met two contacts immediately who I could well do business with. The other people I met were full of tips and support and made a first-time networker feel very much at home. I look forward to the next event – the concept is great and you obviously attract the “right crowd.” Rob Woollen of Right-Way Physical Training Ltd
“I had a good time yesterday and found it very useful. As well as an opportunity for networking in itself, I think a support network of like minded people is invaluable and I look forward to the next meeting.” Alison Hall of Hands On
“Thanks for the network meeting yesterday. It was a good event.” Ash Sohanpall of Think Positive
“After exhibiting at one of our events “everything was super” Tristan Maynard of The BCS Partnership Ltd
“We only started as a partnership at the end of April and after coming to less than 10 events, I’ve managed to secure 2 excellent contracts.

“Thanks for the invite to today it was awesome.” Paul Skimin of Future Mind Training

“I found the event really useful AGAIN.” Helen Byrne of Virtualoso
“I've been visiting Networking4business events for nearly two years now. Every time I go, I get a warm welcome from owner and host Mark. I Have found it a great platform to build business contacts. The events are relaxed and informal and always in excellent venues. I have met some great people over the time I have been attending, some who have become clients, some have become colleagues and some have or will become suppliers, most have become friends. I can highly recommend attending these events, even if it's just to meet your very congenial host Mark.” Glenn Fox of Foxcom
