Fast Growth Club.. a good face to face meeting

We all now know the importance of social media and its business the benefits, and are learning the right way of promoting through social media marketing. Sometimes though, you have to give your laptop a rest, get out there and mingle. Knowledge Peers event for Growth Club members was the cream of mingling at Ping Pong Dim Sum in Bread Street was a resounding 'social' success.

In the relaxed setting of this 21st century tea house we enjoyed the very best dimsum, conversation and networking. Knowledge Peers were seeking ideas on the biggest challenges currently facing UK growth companies. And the cameras, were out, I am sure the images will be on line soon.

Sir Eric Peacock has been appointed chairman, he started the evening with a charismatic presentation,the prominent serial entrepreneur took his own business Babygro PlC to a full stock exchange listing, he brings his skills to the Knowledge Peers Team. I look forward to some lively sessions with him at the helm.

Jonathan of PingPongDimSum the spirited new chinese brand offering a real 21st Century social foodie experience gave a quick overview of how they have made headway in this recession. http://www.pingpongdimsum.com/ He put it down to recruiting the right people, investing time in training and education... I think he should mention the very high standard of great tasting food they continually serve I am their marshmallow dumplings biggest fan!

The room was full of interesting people, young energetic Paulina explained how GrantTree help startups get government funding. http://www.granttree.co.uk/ David Walter of http://www.first-takeuk.com/ reinforced my belief that all presenters need a little bit of coaching to keep them slick, were not talking 90s power stuff but real engagement skills of today. I went on voicefactory course with Stella Arman who worked on my pitch and tone in the summer that was excellent for confidence building. http://www.voice-factory.co.uk/

Interestingly this event had great buzz on the night... and a few guests have created digital buzz looking forward to Knowledge Peers joining realtime marketing companies soon.
