I was apprehensive about coming last night, having never been before, but the first three people I saw when I walked through the door were people I know and admire, so everything went swimmingly from there.

July’s Best of Bath networking event at the Royal Crescent Hotel was a vibrant affair with lots of new and familiar faces enjoying the entrepreneurial atmosphere. Clearly, businesses in Bath are fighting hard to succeed in these difficult times and the mutual understanding and respect between the guests was palpable.

In many ways, Best of bath events serve to cement existing business relationships and generate fresh contacts. My company, Impress Media, has already two new potential clients as a result of attending the event. We encourage all local companies to get involved in this worthy organisation.

I have attended many of the ‘Best of Bath’ meetings over the last twelve months and have been pleasantly surprised how such an informal but focused gathering of diverse business people can join together to promote their interests and develop new business contacts. The relaxed meetings have developed new business for the company and allowed us to explore new business opportunities that we have not considered before.

Great!
We had a good time last night - really enjoyed it! I've never been to the Crescent Hotel - didn't realise it had such a lovely garden area - I'll have to make sure I pop up there for an afternoon tea in the summer.
It's good to move the meetings around to different places as you get to see new things and I'm sure it helps to raise the venue's profile.

Hi James,

It was really good to meet you yesterday. I thought the networking event was great. The speed networking worked well for us who are a little shy when it comes to these things. We had to shoot off about half way through but we will definitely be coming to the next one. Thanks again for last night. Kind Regards

Hello James,

Last night was excellent. Thank you for organising it.

As you know it was my first networking evening, I had no idea what to expect nor how it would benefit my business. Thank you for being so persistent with your invitations to attend. I am very glad I did, I now understand just why networking is so positive a thing to do for any business.

Better than anything else of course was that it was fun, Liz and I literally had a great time last night.

I look forward to the next event!

Hi James, As this was my first visit to one of your events, I was extremely nervous. I was put at ease right from the start. You showed me to the room where everyone meet and in the time it took you to get me a drink, someone had come over to me and we were exchanging business cards. I found everyone that evening very friendly and I would love to go to another of your events. Thank you. All the Best, Nicky Miller, C C Bookkeeping

Well done!!!

We had a great time. Networking events often seem a little forced, but limitless cocktails (if one can find space at the bar!) undoubtedly fuel the conversation and help people to forge good relationships - if these transmogrify into good business relationships in the future, fantastic. If not, well, we still met some interesting contacts - for us, an evening networking event definitely beats getting up at the crack of dawn and attempting to impress potential clients while wrestling with a greasy breakfast...

Thanks again ,

Hi James,

Thank you for inviting me to a very buzzy informal networking event on 1 October. It was very different to other events I've attended - it was very relaxed and oozed warmth and anyone I met was lovely. What I liked most about it was everyone was so friendly and invited you in to their little circle to join in with conversation. I loved my yummy cocktail too - Gin, Passion fruit and cranberry made by Craig at Hydromel.

It won't be long before you out grow the venue!!!
