A couple of months ago our MD, Lisa, got involved with a networking event with a twist. Teams of local business men and women from professional services firms were challenged to pitch ideas to package and market a single egg. Lisa was on the apprentice-style panel of judges and not only were there some innovative ideas, but everyone had a lot of fun. The teams had to create the packaging and prove its practicality by dropping it (with an egg inside) from 6 feet.
This was just the first of a planned series of networking challenge evenings organised by accountants, Horwath Clark Whitehill and recruitment company, Page Personnel
The next installment is on 16th July and I’m on the panel this time. I’ve been told to keep the challenge under wraps, but it sounds like it’s going to stretch the teams just as much. And if it’s as good as I think it’ll be, I’ll keep you posted.
If this sounds like your kind of thing, get in touch with Sarah Cundle via email: Sarah.Cundle@horwath.co.uk or call her on 01892 700200.
See what the local press had to say about the event.
