“EVO is a networker's dream”
I have been networking for over 10 years, and although I have been an active member of various networks EVO is one that I return to time after time. I attended one of the first meetings in 2015. Since then we have had wonderful meetings in some luxurious locations around the South West. But networking is not about nice meetings, in nice locations, with nice people. Networking is about output and results! The structure of an EVO meeting, both face to face, and since Covid, Online, is to achieve one thing, the facilitation of members to make, build and solidify relationships. It’s then our job as networkers to turn them into business results such as income, deals, £££! But sometimes they result in more, much MUCH MORE!!! I met Ben Mason in early 2017, at an EVO breakfast at Harvey Nics, as with all long-lasting relationships it started with a shared business card, then a 121 to find out a little more. We quickly realised that we held similar business values, doing the right thing and doing it right, particularly in markets where charlatans can hide in plain sight. We built a solid business relationship, introducing work to each other, doing work for each other, sharing advice and buying each other’s services. Becoming firm friends, so when the opportunity presented itself where we could work together, we jumped at it.

Where are we today? Ben and the other founders of Kinherit invited me to join their team last year, in less than 12 months we have grown immensely from a team of 7 to a team of 20+ with growth in the 100’s of %. We have team members that have taken over our mantel as EVO members and use various EVO members past and present as our outsource providers. To say we would be where we are today without EVO is only true in the fact that that is where we met, but I do believe those early days of a breakfast, a shared business card and a 121 was the first step. Thank you to Jamie and all at EVO for doing what you do best, the facilitation of members to make, build and solidify relationships. The rest of the hard work is all ours, but if just 10% of your members get the value that Ben and I have gained, you’ll have boosted the UK economy in the Billions. If you have read this very long testimonial, and you’ve not worked your EVO team, had your 121s (don't stop at 1, Ben and I have had so many they turned from 121's into catching up with a friend) actively sought to introduce them business and sought to use their services - then you won’t know what opportunities and successes are just around the EVO networking corner.
