What if networking actually felt like something to look forward to?

Good food, good conversation, and a time of day that works. A room full of interesting people, in a setting that makes you want to linger. That's what I wanted… and when I couldn't find it, I decided to create it.

Your Network was built around one question: what would make you actually want to show up? Not a rushed breakfast in a hotel. Not an evening event when you'd rather be home. Something worth getting out for. Something chilled, warm and welcoming.

I asked the people in my phone about the things that matter: what day works, what's worked well for you at other events, and what hasn't. It turns out I wasn't the only one who just wanted to be asked.

So here we are. This is my first event, and I'm building it around your answers. I'll learn as we go, and if it works (and I really hope it will!) I'll do it again and again.

I'm being stubborn about one thing though. The brunch stays.

I've chosen The Candover in Preston Candover a beautiful new pub and inn nestled in the Hampshire countryside, just outside Winchester. They're new, and so am I to this. The moment I found them I thought: this is exactly the kind of place you want to spend a few hours. I hope you agree.

Think open fires, beautiful countryside and food that's worth the journey.
