QMT Commercial’s Ashford networking event launches with great success
Published on: February 26, 2025
On the evening of Tuesday 25th February, The New Fox Inn in Willesborough was abuzz with excitement, as our new B2B networking event launched in the Ashford community. Co-hosted by QMT Commercial and networking experts Synergy Networking Events, the evening marked the very first event in a series of planned monthly meet ups.
Professionals from all types and sizes of businesses came together to share their experiences, stories and advice, discover new suppliers and seek fresh sales prospects.
Guests were given a warm welcome in the private function room at The New Fox Inn, with General Manager Ethan Rawbone and his team on hand throughout providing plenty of nibbles and refreshments. It proved to be the perfect setting for our event: informal, relaxed, and just a stone’s throw from the QMT Commercial office.
Frank Thomson, Business Development & Marketing Manager at QMT Commercial said. “We are thrilled at the turnout of our very first event, which exceeded our expectations and is only set to grow as the word spreads throughout the Ashford business community and beyond. The positive feedback we’ve received so far from our guests really indicates just how much the area needed an initiative like this. We’re really excited to develop this group further over the coming months.”
Linda Cloke, owner of Synergy Networking Events, said “The Ashford launch was a resounding success, attracting local business people from sole traders to large corporations. Thank you to Ethan for the tasty food and table service and to everyone for their support.”
As we look to the future, our aim is simple: to strengthen business connections and increase local opportunities by establishing a framework of like-minded business owners. All the while, we are looking to redefine what ‘networking’ looks like, overcoming the misconceptions of stuffy conference rooms, 60-second elevator pitches and events that don’t suit your busy schedule.
At QMT Commercial, we like to do things differently. Our events are carefully planned to put guests at ease and run in the evenings so you can easily pop down after your workday. It’s much more like getting a drink with friends than something that needs to be seen as a chore.
We are already planning our second event on Tuesday 25th March 2025, returning to The New Fox Inn from 6.30pm. Following the success of our launch event, spaces are already filling fast, so book your spot now to avoid disappointment:
