Hate walking into a crowded networking event? No need. The first person to arrive is invited to grab a drink and take a seat.
And when the chip butties and curry are served – help yourself – and don’t be shy. Dipping your butty into your curry has been declared culturally acceptable at this event.
The second person to arrive is then seated with them for an instant 1-2-1 chat.
The 3rd and 4th person, 5th and 6th person etc are similarly matched. So nobody has to tackle a crowd. So, it begins with mass one-to-one chats.
But for all you extroverts, there’s open networking at the end – that gives us introverts a choice – stick around if we have warmed up and want to continue any chats that were started.
Or dive head-first for the exit having had some decent networking, with a structure that helps us more reserved people feel more at ease.
This is a table-based format – 4-6 people to a table settled down to listen to our guest speaker who will end their talk by posing a discussion topic for you all to tackle.
Again, this doesn’t impact the extroverts. But it does mean us shyer people have something to talk about so we’re not nervously wondering what to say.
After the discussion, the host will invite each person in turn on each table to briefly introduce yourself, what you do, types of projects you are doing/seek and the type of clients you look out for.
Time allowing, we’ll swap people around and go again.
And then it’s on to open networking, perhaps a drink or two more. The last person there turns off the light.
Refunds / Cancellations
It’s a catered event. Which means there are no refunds for last minute cancellations. However, the events are booked for the last Tuesday of every month.
So, if we receive notification you wish to cancel by 5PM on the preceding Friday (4 days before the event), then we will either retain your payment as a credit on future attendance or issue a full refund.
About The Food
The Humble Chip Butty, Balanced With An Exotic Chicken Or Vegetarian Curry
Can you almost smell the aroma of the legendary chip butty blending with the salt and vinegar? The butter having oozed into the very essence of the butty as the hot chips take their place?
Then there’s the big question – is it polite to dip your chip butty into your curry?
Will we feel social anxiety that we’re being judged?
Or should we all agree in advance that it’s perfectly acceptable for those who do?
That’s the backdrop for a superb night of networking. A delicious bite to eat.
Liverpool’s adopted scouser, Vietnamese chef Bau Bui will be preparing and serving up a delicious Vietnamese Chicken and Vegetarian curry.
With a hint of sweetness, it has a little spiciness, but more on the warm than hot end of the curry specturm.
A blend of cultures – the famous chip butty with a touch of exotic Vietnamese cuisine to kick your night off.
Our Guest Speaker – And Conversation Starter
Every month, you’ll get to hear a guest speaker with an educational topic from the world of construction or property. Or, a good general business topic.
Our guests are asked NOT to pitch what they do. But we will tell you all about them or invite them to do so briefly after their talk.
Related to the subject of their talk, they will suggest a discussion topic or pose a question for you to all tackle on your tables.
This helps break the ice. And it can be a lifesaver for the more reserved as they will have had some inspiration and thoughts about the topic just raised.
It’s a great platform to relax everyone before the structured networking kicks off.
