We believe that in order to offer the best networking opportunities we need to have corporate members attending our events, thus providing a complete mix of business types and people.
Because of this we have spent several months finding corporate sponsors who understand the benefits of networking and are keen to work with a professional networking organisation. They will be hosting some of our events and many of their staff will be attending.
