In the first few months of running my new Hospitality Consultancy business, the Met Club has proved to be an invaluable source for contacts and from where I have already found four new clients.

 

I recommend the Met Club for providing some of the best networking opportunities in Yorkshire and a great environment in which to meet many new like minded business people.

The Met Club is easily the best value for money networking membership group in Yorkshire. A good variety of quality events and large numbers of members attending has given us a great return from our investment and we've had a lot of fun in the process

The Met Club provides me with a very different kind of networking environment, one where I can mingle and meet with an array of quality, local business owners, always in a highly professional and comfortable environment, irrespective of the venue location.

Christine, Debbie and Lorraine work hard to ensure that events are well attended, even down to personally calling members to encourage their attendance to ensure that each event achieves its full networking potential.

 

Always a friendly and welcoming environment, I would highly recommend joining the Met Club as a more civilized and business focused business networking setting.

I have been attending The Met Club for nearly three years and have met business partners and new suppliers through the well-organised and highly enjoyable meetings. It’s a forum for senior business people to exchange ideas and views and form valuable long-term business relationships in relaxing venues. The Met Club is run by very helpful people and it’s always a delight to attend the events. The Met Club lunches are also valuable and create a different forum with very interesting speakers.

‘The Met Club is a networking group that has really worked for me, as a Business Development Manager. Consistent attendance over the past two years has enabled me to develop an excellent database of local contacts, and has helped establish both me and my organisation, Saint Michael’s Hospice, in the business community. This has increased my personal profile and resulted in substantial support for Saint Michael’s through our Guild of Patrons. The Met Club provides a relaxed environment at the end of a working day, without pressure or expectations. Business breakfasts and luncheons are always well organised and attended, with significant, relevant speakers, in upmarket venues. A great way to develop new business relationships, build trust and gain mutual support.’

Now entering my fourth year of membership with The Met Club I will continue to be amazed at the variety of opportunities, which have come my way. Working with Chief Execs on challenging tasks, jumping on planes to Milan and most recently rolling out the red carpet to business leaders from Bahrain. The Met Club has been instrumental in connecting me with some really interesting people and some of my greatest projects. For those thinking of joining the club enter without hesitation and just see how far a conversation will take you and your business.

A prospect we had trouble reconnecting with, turned up once at a Met Club event and we were able to rekindle our relationship. This is where face-to-face works over all other contact channels.”

Christine and her team do an excellent job allowing senior decision makers from all walks of life to come together in a relaxed informal manner. This allows all parties to build strong local relationships from which many deals are done. I would have no hesitation in recommending the Met Club to anyone

 

 

It’s where the serious networking takes place

“I picked up a contract which delivered over £20k of work on my second visit to a Met Club event. Needless to say, I’m a regular and always enjoy meeting up with Met Club colleagues.”

 

“My two favorite aspects of the Met Club are that firstly, it is a genuinely relaxed networking experience, made more so by a free drink! Secondly, it genuinely works –there are no pressures for referrals and sales, but you’ll find that within a couple of meetings, you’ll get to know other members on a friendly and open basis. This means that you can make genuine business relationships that stand the test of time and economic climate.”

On my second visit to the Met Club I met a person who was offering his services as an interim manager. This was just what a client of mine needed at the time. The interim manager was able to restructure and run my client’s business until a buyer could be found. This process took about a year during which my firm earned fees of £27,000 and the interim manager considerably more. My client was happy because it allowed him to retire and pass on his business.

 

---------------------------

Every time I go to an event I find it very fruitful and stimulating. The Met Club is what a great networking group should be. A group of like minded people who want to help and support each other to develop and grow their business.

• Offers a relaxed, informal yet highly productive atmosphere for business professionals provided by knowledgeable, professional and discreet hosts
• Is pressure and obligation free – all referrals are voluntary and thus, I believe, carry more weight
• Has provided our company with exposure to business intelligence we would otherwise have missed
• Is networking with and without – with all the benefits of other networking events without the cheesy scripts, happy clapping and cold bacon!
• Is recommended by me, Spencer Cassidy
