BONALLACK & BISHOP ANDOVER SOLICITORS PRESS RELEASE

25 August 2008 

Andover Business Breakfast Club 

Following on from the success of the Salisbury Breakfast Club, launched in April, Bonallack & Bishop have decided to roll the concept out in Andover from September, and will be launching the Andover Breakfast Club, supported by local radio station Andover Sound, on Tuesday 9th September at the Hampshire Golf Club, Goodworth Clatford. 

Tim Bishop, Senior Partner of Salisbury lawyers  Bonallack & Bishop says, “The Salisbury Breakfast Club was started when, having grown tired of the forced formality and minimum attendance requirements at many of the local breakfast clubs, we decided to set up our own to offer large and small businesses an opportunity to gather on a monthly basis and exchange ideas and build good local relationships. The breakfasts have been an amazing success, with a regular turnout of over 80 people, and we are hoping for a similar attendance at the Andover Breakfast – so you won't have to talk to the same old familiar faces month in, month out. As at Salisbury, although we intend to have speakers from time to time, the emphasis will be very much on enjoyment and informality to keep a bright modern approach to the meetings. We would encourage anyone involved in a local business to attend.” 

Describing the breakfast club concept, Simon Olney, Creative Director of Andover-based Skala Marketing Consultants, commented, “I’ve been to a fair few networking events but feel the Salisbury Breakfast Club got the mix just right. It was an excellent event and I made some really decent contacts today.”

Also commenting on the success of the Salisbury Breakfast Club, Ceri Hurford-Jones, Managing Director of Salisbury radio statio Spire FM said, “I am amazed by the turn out, I thought I knew nearly all the business people in Salisbury but there are faces here that I’ve never seen before. Great event.” 

Costing only £10 to cover the cost of the breakfast, and with no membership fee, or other commitment, this is an ideal opportunity to network with like-minded business people in a relaxed atmosphere. 

Dates:
Tuesday 9th September, Hampshire Golf Club
Tuesday 14th October, Venue TBC
Tuesday 11th November, Hampshire Golf Club
Tuesday 9th December, Hampshire Golf Club
