4Networking (Network Central)
Information
4Networking used to run face-to-face networking meetings all over the UK.
During Covid Lockdowns the organisation underwent a radical change and re-invented itself as Network Central. Brad Burton, 4N Founder, stepped down and left the business.
The programme is now a hybrid mix of online and offline events.
Website: https://networkcentral.biz/
Location: Online daily, plus in-person events mainly in the Midlands region
Members: 40
Latest Activity: Nov 5, 2017
Smile... Meet... Chat... Join!
[Please note, this group was created by Networking in Surrey, not 4Networklng . Please only join it if you are interested in attending group meetings. Use these listings to find 4Networking groups in your area]
Before the Pandemic and Lockdowns decimated in-person networking, 4N Groups met locally for face-to-face events, usually over breakfast. Meetings followed a set pattern with a script, a Member speaker (4Sight) and ended with three ten-minute 1-2-1s arranged during the event.
When networking went exclusively online, the standard format was relaxed and during Lockdown the organisation ran a 7-day per week programme of online meetings with a variety of themes and formats.This was a markedly different approach from the other national networks.
These online events were open to all Members, even though many were still in effect 'local' and attended mainly by the people who had met in person before the disruption.
In the aftermath of this shake-up, a new 4N has emerged offering a hybrid mix of online and offline events open to all Members - though the in-person events are of necessity attended by local business folk.
Membership is centrally controlled, and the 4N website features all their events, but we can't possibly offer a standard summary of meeting patterns, times and dates here on Networking in Surrey.
Whenn we last checked we found that there's an online 4N meeting (sometimes two) every weekday (Members £6+VAT) plus monthly face-to-face meetings (Members £15+VAT including breakfast/brunch or evening meal) in places as diverse as Ely, Derby, Ipswich, Greater Manchester, Nottingham, Newark, Lincoln, Loughborough, Tamworth and Macclesfield.
Check it all out for yourself on the 4N site here...

BTW I erroneously sent an email to all the members of this group ..... SORRY about that, folks. I am still learning my way around (she said, blushing)

Croydon Central is launching on Thursday 20th October at Fairfield Halls. I am currently looking for Croydon-based visitors to invite along to the launch. So, if you have any contacts in this area or thereabouts that would benefit from the 4N experience, please let me know.

Don't forget the latest group to open in Banstead. Next meeting is on 26th July at The Toby Carvery, Cheam Road, Ewell. (yes I know, technically this is not Banstead, but it is just over the border!)

I am a bit of a 4N breakfast junkie! Like Jane, I joined at the Reigate launch and have been 4networking regularly 2 or 3 times each week. For me it has been enormously helpful in getting to grips with the 'behind the scenes' stuff when starting your own business, making great connections with potential clients and services and I have met and made friends with some fabulous people.

Thanks Vicky and Mark, both demonstrating the friendliness of 4N members! I hope to get to both of your groups once I've explored the closer ones. I'll work outwards! Looking forward to meeting both of you and I'll think about that 4Sight!

I'm the group leader for the Kingston 4N meeting that runs at Harts Boatyard on the river. Great that you've joined but make the most of the passport and also the website. It's also a good idea to start thinking about a 4Sight as you should get your name down with groups as the slots get booked up. 4Sights give you the attention of everyone in the room for 10 mins to get to know you (no sales pitch of course) and so are well worth doing.

Went as a visitor to my first 4Networking meeting today at the Reigate launch and loved it. Plenty of opportunity to meet other like-minded business people and a very friendly welcome. Didn't hesitate to join 4N there and then and now looking forward to visiting more groups in the area.
