pro-manchester’s Networking Social
Join us for our virtual Happy Hour!
Network with other pro-manchester members, there’ll be something for everyone who is interested in networking and making new connections with like-minded business professionals, whilst being fun and welcoming to all.
That’s why pro-manchester are hosting a structured yet relaxed environment to generate introductions and referrals, share contacts, build knowledge, partnering and ultimately help our GM business community to grow.
Hopefully you'll be able to wind down as the working day draws to a close and join us with a glass of something!
What to Expect
The pro-manchester membership has a fantastic, diverse and eclectic mix of businesses. The best way to build relationships with your fellow members is to attend this event.
Whether you’re experienced in networking or new to it, you will always get a warm and friendly reception from your fellow pro-manchester members.
This is a flexible session, so you enjoy it your way. Guests will be split off into small groups to make it easier to chat and groups will be mixed and matched to ensure everyone meets as many people as possible!
If this sounds like the kind of environment for you, come and get involved!
Continuing the Conversation
We encourage everyone to continue the conversation by joining our new pro-manchester Networking Social Group on LinkedIn as well as 'LinkingIn' with each other.
“Networking is not about just connecting people. It's about connecting people with people, people with ideas, and people with opportunities.” Michele Jennae
About the Speakers:
Sam Booth is Co-Chief Exec of pro-manchester, the growth network that brings together ambitious businesses across Greater Manchester to connect, develop and shape the future of the city region.
Sam leads the organisation’s outward-facing agenda, building strong relationships across the region and working closely with partners, members and stakeholders to understand where the biggest opportunities are for business. She brings an external perspective to pro-manchester’s work, helping to identify what matters now, where momentum is building, and how the organisation can create the right conditions for collaboration, growth and influence.
Alongside Co-Chief Exec Nicola McCormick, Sam is part of a leadership model that breaks from tradition. Together, they lead pro-manchester through a shared, collaborative approach that reflects the organisation’s belief in community, support and creating opportunity together. As two women leading side by side, they are proud to be showing that in Manchester, leadership can look different – and stronger – when it is built on partnership.
Sam has been at pro-manchester for 17 years and has been an integral part of its growth. A firm part of the Manchester business community, Sam is a familiar face to most, constantly and efficiently working to bring businesses together in the city region.
Sam also sits on the board of trustees for Forever Manchester, a charity that supports community activity across Greater Manchester. As well as this, Sam also sits on the Greater Manchester Economic Resilience Board, the Greater Manchester Organisational Representatives Group, the Manchester Business Sounding Board, the Bee Net Zero Advisory Board and the Manchester tech hub Board. In 2019 Sam also became the Regional Deputy Chair of TheCityUK, where she helps to engage the national body on a regional level on behalf of individuals in the financial and professional services industries.
