Celebrating 1 Year of Network Lunchtime Social Events

On 10 March 2022 we hosted our first Network Lunchtime Social Event alongside Diamond Solutions UK Ltd and Hesketh Jones Construction Ltd.

The events were set up with the aim of bringing together businesses working within the Property & Construction sector to develop new opportunities via networking, whilst also supporting local charities.

The social has grown from around 38 (our first event) to 55 attendees (our last event in November). We have welcomed businesses from across Greater Manchester, Lancashire, Yorkshire and beyond.

At each social we also support a local charity. So far, we have welcomed these incredible organisations to the event:

If you would like to attend one of our socials, our next event takes place on 29 March 2023 at the Red Hall Hotel, Bury. To book your place for networking and a fabulous 2 course lunch, visit: https://www.trybooking.co.uk/CCVL
