On behalf of the Chartered Institute of Marketing, may I congratulate LunchNet on the excellent event held at the National Coalmining Museum on the 12th October 2005. It is important that this kind of event, sponsored by the Chartered Institute of Marketing delivers 'learning' in a professional and interesting manner. LunchNet did just that, in fact the event delivered much, much more than expected by all the CIM members who attended. Rob Brown, the guest speaker was an inspiration to us all, progressively delivering tips and tricks about Networking, so attendees continuously gained confidence throughout the event, adding value to all concerned. I hope that the CIM and LunchNet can work together to organise similar events throughout the UK.
