Do the Table

Sixteen seats. Eight sectors. One table.

A private lunch bringing together the region’s senior business leaders to open doors, solve problems and do business. Two seats per sector, sixteen in all, around one table in the private dining room at The Two Pigs.

Part board meeting, part introduction engine, part think tank. No name badges, no pitch slots, no working the room. Everyone is at the same table, because there is only one table.

What we Do at the Table stays at the Table. The connections leave with you.

The founding lunch

Our first Do the Table is facilitated by Andrew D’arcy, who will share his Reflections on Leadership and the Challenges it Presents. Andrew has worked as a senior leader and director in the insurance sector, with companies such as PwC, KPMG, Zurich, Royal Bank of Scotland and Wesleyan Bank.

His talk leads into the heart of the afternoon: honest discussion of the challenges in front of us, and the target markets around the table, so everyone leaves with introductions that open doors.

The eight sectors

• Manufacturing & Engineering

• Sales & Marketing
• Tech
