EVO was founded in October 2015. We’ve grown from 4 to 12 groups since the lockdown started and now we’re back in- person! We have limited numbers for this special trial meeting in Wales and we’ll o ff er you either a green or red sticker upon arrival to indicate whether you’re comfortable with handshakes etc. We are limiting the numbers for safety and this an opportunity for you to meet around 20 other business people, connect and network, mastermind a business question and hear from a speaker. If you’d like to find out how to apply to become a Member of one of the groups, please contact us before the event, ask the team or stay on at the end of the meeting where we can informally chat. There is some free parking to the right, of the venue - when facing the front. You’ll need to give you details to reception. They're 100s of pay and display places directly opposite.

“20 new clients in 12 months as a result of the EVO Network.”

Whilst the country was in a national lockdown, routes to market for the majority of new businesses were turned on their heads over night. The leadership team at EVO thought on their feet and decided to facilitate online networking calls via Zoom on a weekly basis. Much like other business owners, I was looking for an effective way to market myself and get my message out to new potential clients and customers and joining EVO was an easy, seamless decision once I’d visited one of the group meetings. Immediately I felt welcome in the Genesis group, amongst founding members and other ‘newbies’ like myself. It wasn’t long before I was having more personalised 1-2-1’s with members over Zoom and Teams. Just over a year in I now have 20 clients as a result of the network and I now feel like an established member. I also now know many members as friends which is a massive perk of the more laid back yet focussed approach to networking that EVO has created. It has been an excellent source of activity and business for me over the past year and I would happily recommend to anyone looking to spread the word about their business in the South West. Thank you to Jamie and then team for all of your continued hard work.
