The thing that makes Jo's events so special is the environment that she creates through her dedication to making them really bespoke and personal. A lot of thought goes into the little details to make people feel comfortable and able to engage with others in the community. Highly recommend.
Fab events, run by lovely Jo! Always really well organised, lots of variety of events and really community focussed. Highly recommend!

Thank you so much Emma ~ very grateful to have met you!
I've been to the business networking and speed friending events and they've all been excellent. Really well run, friendly hosts, nice venues, great atmosphere. I will absolutely go to more and use Burton Road events to organise a team social for my workplace in the future.

Thank you so much Ellie ~ it's been such a joy getting to know you through events and to watch how quickly your own business has grown!
I’ve been to several of the social events that Jo runs and they have been excellent. She always ensures that a host is there to smooth over the event and keep things lively and fun.
I haven’t been to the singles nights but one of my friends has been to a couple and was really happy with the way the events ran.
Would really recommend attending any of them.
