Business networking at its best in London this Christmas
I'm sure you know it’s the quality of the network, not the quantity, that counts.
The Executives Association of Great Britain is one of the oldest networking organisations in the UK and can trace its roots back to 1929. The Association has met monthly for nearly 80 years. Meetings take place at the prestigious Dorchester Hotel on Park Lane under the motto "Creating Business" and have generated tens of millions of pounds in business for members. This Christmas the Association is extending an invitation to all businesses in London and across the UK.
Damon Segal, CEO of AGI the association’s Marketing Director, says: “'After five years as a member, I have taken a position on the board to get the message out to a wider audience. In these times it is more important than ever for real businesses to pull together and network with other good quality businesses.
“There are so many networking groups available nowadays that it is all too easy to fall into a group filled with sales-oriented members who are not in senior positions with established businesses. As its name suggests, the Executives Association is just that; our members range from owners and directors to entrepreneurs and senior management.
“We believe that spending time over fine food, a glass or two of wine and finishing off with a focused hour of networking can produce results that will help bolster any business. The Christmas gathering is the crowning event in the Executives Association’s calendar and we want to maximise our attendance with new faces."
Rhidian Jones, MD of leading telemarketing firm Route 2 Market, says: "The Executives Association has been a great support to my business both in comradeship and contracts. Christmas is always great fun and I am always willing to ‘suffer’ a business lunch at the Dorchester. I'll definitely bring some clients to this event as it’s a great way to thank them for their business."
The Executives Association of Great Britain’s Christmas Luncheon will be held on Thursday 11th December. An optional bonus for guests and members is the hour of networking from 10:45am to 11:45am followed by a drinks reception with festive music by The Reading Band of The Salvation Army and then lunch with entertainment. It's a great way to get a feel for the Association and at just £90 + vat a head it won't break the bank. Tables are also available, so why not treat customers or staff.
