We'd like to thank everyone who recently attended our Facilities Management Networking event held at Business Growth Fund offices. As usual it was a pleasure to get to talk to dedicated and passionate professionals from across a wide range of industries covering the entire FM spectrum.
We'd also like to say a big thank you to our guest speakers Jim Steele and Anthony Hutton for taking part and delivering such engaging talks. We specifically approached Jim and Anthony to speak as we wanted to provide attendees with the opportunity to benefit from their incredibly unique perspectives and backgrounds, as well as gain valuable insights into motivational strategies, ideas on how to develop emotional resilience, and a deeper understanding of how we can all take more control of personal and professional success in our lives.
This was a was a fun and productive evening full of good vibes, great people, and promising connections. Hopefully everyone in attendance left with something valuable—whether it was a new business lead, an interesting idea, or just the excitement of meeting like-minded professionals. The event was very well-received and we have been thrilled with the response we've had from some attendees who have reached out to share their feelings on the evening:
"I thoroughly enjoyed the event. Both speakers were really engaging...In fact I'm thinking of inviting Jim to do a session with our senior team in London."
"I just wanted to send a brief note to say thank you for a thought provoking evening...From my arrival I thought of the parallel world of 'resurfacing roads ' and how management teams change but first line communities don't!"
"Jim was a wonderful speak with a simple message - push yourself harder , and fight the fear...Equally the emotional session with Anthony reminded us how fragile our world's are - and the need to look out for others and ourselves"
"I thought I should take the time to thank you for organising (and inviting me to) this evening’s event. The hospitality was generous, the venue well chosen and the speakers of an interesting and sufficiently diverse variety to both entertain and cause attendees such as myself, to reflect and consider their own vastly rich life experiences."
