Event: Effective Networking: A Norwich Business Breakfast

The sun came out and there was a great buzz as delegates arrived for Effective Networking: A Norwich Business Breakfast at the Norwich Football Club on Thursday 15 May. The event was hugely popular, with numbers approaching 100 delegates.

As sponsors of the breakfast, Jeremy Wiggin, Travel Development Team Manager of The Business Track Pack spoke about the new travel pack launched free to Norfolk’s businesses. With handy personalized information on live bus departures, roadwork alerts, personalised travel, discounts, cycle information, lift share and car club.

Breakfast then followed, delegates enjoyed a delicious English breakfast and networked around their table. After breakfast, we heard from our featured charity Love Norwich. Gemma Neill, Project Manager from Love Norwich engaged the audience in the community projects they are involved in including the Shine Course.

Chris Liles, Personal Skills Coach with Relationship Doctor followed, resourcing delegates with ‘The Elevator Pitch.’ A fantastic and easy guide to pitching your business in less than 30 seconds. Delegates were tasked with coming up with their own pitch and then sharing it with their table. A safari move meant all delegates moved tables and were able to practice their pitch and network with a whole new table. Gemma Pendleton from Steeles Law said: ‘A great breakfast with the inimitable Chris Liles talking networking. Now to refine our elevator pitch!’

Lindy Warmer, Breckland Council and Michelle Wastell from Relish Restaurant shared their elevator pitch with the audience and proved you can deliver an engaging, enthusiastic pitch which delegates will remember in under 30 seconds.

The focus of this breakfast was networking and making the most out of every networking opportunity, delegates left with a greater sense of the importance of networking and how they could do it even better and see results.

James Elvin, Price Bailey said: ‘Really enjoyable breakfast and networking event today, along with practising the elevator pitch!’ Joseph Long, Nicholsons Solicitors LLP said: ‘Good turnout here at the Football Club for the Chamber business breakfast this morning’

Our next Norwich Business Breakfast, International Connections will be held on the 2 July at Sprowston Manor. For full details click here.
