“I enjoyed my evening at the Mussel Club very much it is a relaxed format in which I felt able to speak freely about a range of important issues and indeed to have some fun. I was very impressed by the audience/attendees some of whom I know, who were all established business people with knowledge and understanding of the issues that confront them so I felt at home so to speak. I think the Mussel club format has struck a rich seam evidenced by the numbers who attended this and other events, because it does not force people into artificially constructed ‘networking confrontations’ that are tedious. Very well done and I hope to attend more of these evenings.”

“As a recently signed up member of the Mussel Club the potential of this club has yet to be fully realised for my business. However, the potential benefits to my business, Complete Sports Medicine are obvious and hugely significant. Almost as importantly, the Mussel Club are very welcoming and offer not only a great business network but also a great social network. For a relatively new business starter like myself I am very lucky to be part of such a beneficial club.”

“The Mussel Club is truly a group that bound the business network of the North East together yesterday and provided multiple avenues to meet connected and energetic businesses in a supportive, open and importantly relaxed and fun environment. It was a pleasure to be one of the businesses on those stands and I hope to have the opportunity to do so again soon.”
