Social Businesss Events – Feedback
Here are comments received from attendees at our social business networking events in Richmond upon Thames:
“I’ve been a member of Best of Richmond for some time and the quality and number of enquiries that we receive is exceptional but I had not ventured into attending a Best of Richmond networking event until recently. I must say I am so pleased that I did. The warm genuine greeting I received when I arrived at The Depot Waterfront Brasserie in Barnes from not only the Best of Richmond guys and girls but from other businesses was great, the free flowing wine, fruit juice and general niceness of everyone made me feel like I was chatting to new friends at a party rather than “working”.
I made 4 new contacts for our cleaning company and won the business card draw, so I’ll get to go back to The Depot for a meal for free! I would highly recommend attending a Best of Richmond event, especially if you are new to networking and nervous of starting a conversation with strangers.”

“I just wanted to let you know it was a great event and venue on Tuesday. It was my first Networking with the Best of event and I thought it was run very well and I particularly liked the way it was broken up by you guys getting on the mics and I met loads of interesting people and made some very good contacts. The only disappointment was there wasn’t enough time to speak to everyone. I will definitely be booking up for your next event. Well done to all of you and thank you.”
Chris Thomas, Crimson Business Ltd
“I attended my first Best of Richmond networking event in February this year and I found the event refreshing and invigorating. After a long hard day, the environment was friendly and informal, there were no embarrassing gimmicks – just the opportunity to meet fellow local traders and identify potential sales opportunities and partnerships. As the year has progressed and my networking skills have improved I have always come away with some excellent contacts, as well as having a very enjoyable evening at some great locations.
The other great benefit has been Nick’s support and his desire to ensure that you maximise your investment. From the attendee lists sent in advance of the even to his willingness to introduce you to absolutely anyone that is going to be there shows a real commitment to every one of his clients.”
