Our inaugural Bedford-based networking event, held at Brewpoint, proved a resounding success, attracting a broad mix of OBs, parents and past parents from a breadth of industries – from finance to IT, retail, entrepreneurs and many more. Connections were made and we’ve already had some fantastic feedback and requests for similar events in the near future.
Based on the popularity of our London Networking Forums, which were set up to give OBs of all ages the opportunity to connect and extend their network in a friendly, informal environment, we decided to hold a similar event, closer to the school, for the whole BSA (Bedford School Association) community.
“We are keen to foster an environment where members of our community can share business opportunities in a friendly atmosphere. Our networking events provide an invaluable opportunity for guests to increase their network and meet like-minded people. The feedback we have had from our previous London events has been extremely positive – with many attendees telling us they have made valuable long-term connections. We are excited to be able to bring these events to Bedford and are delighted that our inaugural event was a real hit!” Hugh Maltby, Director BSA
During the evening, Hugh introduced everyone to Eagle Connect, our free, digital networking hub set up for all members of the Bedford School community. Photos from the evening have been uploaded to Eagle Connect and can be found within the BSA Bedford Networking ‘Group’. We will also add details of future London and Bedford Networking events (planned for February 2022) to this Group, so please do keep an eye out.
We would like to thank all those who attended and would welcome any feedback and suggestions for future events. If you would like to host a similar event at your workplace, please do get in touch, we’d love to hear from you.
