“Firstly thank you very much for hosting last week’s meeting. The food was excellent and I thoroughly enjoyed  my lunch. I thought the format of the meeting was very good and it was refreshing to have some professional discussion without the ‘selling’ element. As we discussed ourselves, business owners often view issues differently than professional advisors and employees. So I do think a forum to discuss real issues and challenges is valuable, it also helps to have input from companies at different stages in the business cycle as well as relevant professional advisors. ”

Nigel Fletcher, MD, Osprey Ltd

“Many thanks for yesterday’s lunch which was not only enjoyable
with excellent food etc., but also a useful exchange of ideas and thought
provoking especially given the mix of professionals with various SME
players.

I certainly found the event most useful and I know ‘my guest entrepreneur’ found it
so, as I went back to his office in Portishead afterwards for an update
meeting on his business and he made a number of quotes to others of his
team present during the meeting about what was said at the lunch.”
