to build 'qualified' referrals, you need to meet people on a regular basis

business networking...

Gumption's monthly networking events provide a regular opportunity for business people to touch base and collaborate. 

The format is open and social with cluster sessions to introduce yourself to smaller groups and exchange business cards. The bar remains open for as long as you wish and you can enjoy our other leisure activities and facilities afterwards.

Our regular networking events help you to:
- Build qualified referrals for real sales.
- Build a pro-active database of people with national contacts.
- Opportunity to collaborate with genuine people.

What they say:
"Really good buzz and vibe" Robert of Morrish Solicitors LLP

"As a new face in the Bradford business scene following a move from Huddersfield, I felt very welcome at the latest Gumption Centre event. There were many people who went out of their way to make me feel welcome and I met with a number of very interesting people with great businesses and ideas. I'm very much looking forward to becoming part of the business community at the Gumption Centre and will definitely be a regular at their networking events from now on!" Rhiannon Taylor of Design by IF

"Your event was well worth fighting my way through the traffic. There was a friendly atmosphere and I met some really interesting people." Andrew Wilson of Batty France Consultancy

"I have now attended two of your 'FREE' networking events and already know they will be a regular fixture in my diary from now on. Bradford has lacked a good hub and this really does provide just that. Already have several good leads from these two meeting. The staff are very friendly and John is always on hand to chat.
