Firstly a big thank you to Richard Houldsworth from Splatt Print and Lewis Malka of Joseph Sterling for chairing BRX Bond Street in my absence. No I didn’t just fancy a lay in I was actually working, well sort of. Week one I found myself in the Channel Islands ,on Sark to be exact. Green Park Insurance Services gets around a bit you know, our private client portfolio policies know no geographical boundaries. The second Friday I was actually golfing with a group of Pals, of course networking at the same time. I am told by the group Lewis and Richard did a great job, cheers chaps.
So what sort of things happened at this weeks meeting at the RAF Club on Piccadilly, the home of BRX Bond Street. Following a rousing reception for yours truly, Mike Nightingale, well a small ripple of applause actually, we kicked off with Christmas. Christain Ingerslev from Danesoft, the groups social secretary, announced this years Bond Street Xmas bash will take place on the 10th December at 6.30pm in Soho. Full details to follow, “its a surprise” we were told!! That reminds me whilst the group will fund the majority of the cost, members need to stump up £20, Christian will deal. Lousie Hassett from Delfont Mackintosh Theatres did a great job standing in for Kristy Joly from Perfectly Tempered. Lousie introduced our guests and members substitutes and a wonderful job of it she made. On that point BRX Bond Street is always on the look out for exciting new members to join what is already a fantastically successful networking group. We actively invite potential new members to visit us for a few weeks, get to know the members, get a taste of what BRX is all about before committing. Trust me, once you have seen our referral round where we all pass business you’ll be hooked.
Do you work in the following fields: Interior design, architecture, estate agency, project management, design & build, photography, solvency practitioners, private equity, venture capitalists, management consultancy. These are just a few of the occupations Bond Street are actively seeking to join our merry gathering.
On with Friday’s meeting. Following a great 60 sec round we were entertained by Mr Roy Block from Suits To Your Door. Roy is a discount Suit supplier. He transformed the RAF club in to London fashion week by having all the chaps model his latest suits and coats. I thought we all looked very dapper and did his fashions justice. Actually its was Roy’s suits and his eye for detail that made us look good, believe me. 36 Referrals were passed this week which pays testament to the great job we all do for each other in promoting one another’s businesses throughout the week.
