Join us for an evening of networking exploring the benefits of collaboration in business.
What do Google, The Beatles and Aeroplanes all have in common?
Larry Page and Sergey Brin met as students; they started a company as a way to experiment with search algorithms later becoming Google. The Wright Brothers started out fixing bikes; it was their invention of the three-axis controls that made flying a fixed-wing aircraft possible. John Lennon and Paul McCartney were the driving force behind the sound that changed pop music forever.
The common factor? Simple partnerships, with a mutual passion, sparking ideas that went on to change the world. Collaborating with others enables us to share ideas, be inspired and potentially do some revolutionary work.
Join us for an evening of networking and a glass of wine as we explore the many and varied benefits collaboration in business can bring, from the financial to the human, the physical to the intellectual.
