The events have been running for over 18 months and have now grown to consistently attract over 50+ attendees. Each event includes 15-20 minutes of networking in the bar/welcome area of the venue, followed by a delicious 2 course lunch with other guests in the restaurant/function room, and an opportunity to network afterwards. The events run from 12:30pm until 3pm so there is plenty of time to make new connections and build those important business relationships.
The events are £31.95 per person and a proportion of the ticket price is donated to support a local charity. The charities we have supported so far are Speed of Sight, Bolton Destitute Animal Shelter, Trafford Carers Centre, Purple Heart Wishes, Nightsafe, BACKUP North West, Fortalice, Mentell and Strut Safe.
We are excited to announce our next Network Lunchtime Social of 2025 on Wednesday 3rd December 2025.
Hosted jointly by Hesketh Jones Construction and PiBlu Technologies , the event is especially suited to businesses in the Property & Construction Sector and includes networking and a 2 course lunch (Oscar’s Restaurant). If you have any dietary requirements or require an alternative meal from the options available, please contact us.
As well as being a fantastic opportunity to network with fellow business professionals, the event will also raise money for Salford Children Holiday Camps (https://www.salfordbythesea.co.uk/getting-involved) where a proportion of the ticket price will be donated to support the charity.
Tickets are available for purchase until 17:00PM on Monday 1st December. After this date the booking system will close.
