I attended my first TGN event in January 2023 and it was brilliant, as I was met at the door by a member of the TGN team, who told me how the event works. In the 2 hours I was there, I spoke to a number of people from various business sectors, and everybody I spoke to was very pleasant. I made some really good connections whilst I was there. Thank You TGN

I’ve attended a few of the TGN’s events now and every time it’s been an enjoyable event! If you’re looking for a networking event which is relaxed with no pressure then I definitely recommend the TGN event on the first Thursday of the month. One of my favourite ones to attend too!!!

I am an avid networker and whilst it's always nice to help others I found everyone was at TGN to support each other, especially Ian Morris. He went out of his way to make introductions for me and help me feel part of the event.
A fantastic venue and great service from the onsite staff.

The event was definitely busy, with ample opportunity to make new connections and discuss what other people do and how people could help each other in making new connections. I found the choice of venue worked extremely well, enough space to feel comfortably spread out whilst still being intimate enough to allow for people to converse with everyone in the room.
