Network Villa

[Legion]

From Pravda:

Aston Villa's networking club, Network Villa, is going from strength to strength.

Following on from the highly successful 'More Than 90 Minutes' launch last month, more than local business people attended the latest event at Villa Park on Wednesday 16th June.

Throughout the function, those in attendance participated in speed networking sessions, while a lunchtime buffet and Pimm's were served.

The mood was lightened with a Subbuteo football tournament and a business card draw took place, with the prize being a Cleveland Browns American Football helmet.

James Hinton of Hinton Properties was the lucky winner, with Villa chief executive Paul Faulkner presenting the prize.

Network Villa provides the perfect opportunity to connect with likeminded business professionals in an iconic environment.

The networking club is already proving popular, with many businesses signing up.

Annual membership costs £500* which is inclusive of a number of member benefits including six varied networking events taking place throughout the year.

There is the chance to join us for another evening of networking, ahead of Villa's exciting pre-season clash with six-time Spanish champions Valencia on Friday August 6.

Networking will take place in the Cornerflag restaurant, between 4pm and 6pm, with a summery Spanish theme, including tapas and sangria, as well as appearances from former players.

Those in attendance will then be invited to watch the game from central VIP seating.

I went last week, was well organized and we were in the directors suite. Very plush.

Maybe it's an indication that representatives from M&S turned up?

Networking? How very corporate

Networking? How very corporate

In today's economic climate, it's a great idea.

It also allows them to showcase and sell corporate hospitality to the business people of Midlands...

Its like an expensive BNI - Business Network Initiative - These have been going on for years, however they tend to have a Masonic feel to them
