Networking Events!
Benchmark Recruit hosted a Personal Development & Networking Event at The Quarter Bar and Restaurant in
We joined forces with Jon Colman from Training Providers Red Vanilla to host a ‘Goal Setting ‘session to help attendees prioritise their work and personal life, and realise what they want to achieve in 2008!
The session was informal, interactive and more fun than most workshops you will have attended! There was an informal networking session afterwards and guests stayed for drinks and the live jazz band afterwards in the newly renovated Quarter Bar (formerly Sola) in the city centre.
To receive information about future personal development events please contact louisa@benchmarkrecruit.co.uk. We'll see you next time!
