On Wednesday 13th May, a handful of Brewers swapped breakfast for dinner and met at the new Limora Kitchen restaurant in Ely.
The weekly meetings give us a lot, the sixty seconds, the asks, the ten-minute spotlight, but every now and then it’s nice to just have a proper evening out. You hear more about somebody’s family, the holiday they have planned, the new property they’re nervously about to take on. The bits of business chatter still surface, but mostly around the edges, which is usually when the most useful ones tend to.

I told myself I’d take photos for the website and social. I forgot. The conversation was that good, and by the time I remembered I was already deep into a slice of baklava the size of a small paving slab. So here you go, the only photo I came home with, of the only baklava in Ely big enough to make you reconsider the rest of dinner.
That’s pretty much the spirit of these socials. Come along, eat well, leave knowing your fellow Brewers, just that bit better.
The next one will be on the social events page in the member’s app as soon as I book one in.

Darren Wright, of Darren Wright Professional Builders, came along thanks to a referral that began as a project. Darren has been working with our electrician Matt Ferrie of Ferrie Electrical Services on a large build, and after enough chat […]
Read moreMost networking groups end at the meeting. The card swap, the round of sixty seconds, the cooked breakfast, then everyone disappears back into their week. The bit that actually generates business, the follow-up, gets done in scattered email threads, half-remembered conversations and notebooks that never quite catch up. We’ve built something that fixes that. Every […]
Read moreA surprising number of business owners around Cambridge and Ely have been to a networking group at some point, and a fair few of them have come away feeling oddly relieved when they finally cancelled the membership. If you are one of them, the chances are it was not the people that put you off. […]
