London networking event - Urbano networking breakfast event with Jo Haigh

Urbano Business networking breakfasts give company directors, business owners, entrepreneurs and innovators a chance to make connections, build associations, and learn from some of the UK's most informed and successful entrepreneurs, business people and cross-sector specialists.

Urbano speaker breakfasts are stripped down conferences, featuring great speakers, allowing attendees to discuss the issues featured in the guest presentation and plenty of opportunity to network with the speaker and the other attendees, drawn from across a range of sectors and specialities.

Events held under the Urbano Finance banner give company directors and entrepreneurs a chance to meet and connect with potential investors and lenders to find finance, lending, advice, information, support and new avenues to finance. It also encourages those who advise companies and those who own them to meet in a relaxed and informal atmosphere to develop working associations and alliances.

Previous Urbano Finance speakers have included Simon Dixon (Bank To The Future), tax expert Jonathan Fisher, QC, John Whiting (Office of Tax Simplification), Modwenna Rees-Mogg - Editor of Angel News, Darren Westlake (Crowdcube). Melvyn Gandz (Gareth's Bale's accountant) and others.
