A new monthly Manchester business networking lunch bringing together good people, useful conversations, business insight and great food.

Join us for the Founding Zouk Connect, a new monthly business networking lunch at Zouk Tea Bar & Grill Manchester.

We're bringing together business owners, founders, professionals, entrepreneurs, consultants and people from organisations across Greater Manchester for two relaxed hours of networking, conversation and business insight – accompanied by a proper Zouk lunch.

Zouk Connect is about getting good people around the same table and seeing where the conversations lead.

What to expect

Your afternoon will include:

Informal networking and introductions

Opportunities to meet people from across Manchester's business community

A guest speaker or short business insight session

A banquet-style Zouk lunch

Plenty of time for conversation and making new connections

Who should attend?

Zouk Connect is open to Manchester's wider business community.

Whether you're a founder, business owner, entrepreneur, director, consultant, freelancer or part of a larger organisation, you're very welcome.

Come to find new clients, collaborators and partners – or simply to meet some interesting new people from Manchester's business community.
