Manchester Business Networking Lunch – Zouk Connect November
About this Event
Where Manchester Meets
Great business connections don't have to begin with an awkward networking pitch. Sometimes they start with a fantastic lunch.
Join us at Zouk Tea Bar & Grill on Thursday 19 November for Zouk Connect, our relaxed monthly Manchester business networking lunch.
Following our sold-out founding event in September and our follow up event in October we're bringing together local business owners, entrepreneurs and professionals for two hours of delicious Indian and Pakistani food, engaging conversations and opportunities to build valuable new relationships.
For just £20, enjoy a generous Zouk sharing banquet, mini desserts, chai or coffee and the chance to meet new people from across Manchester's business community.
Whether you're looking for new clients, potential collaborators or simply want to expand your local network, we'd love to welcome you.

For November's Zouk Connect, we'll be treating guests to a delicious Indian and Pakistani sharing banquet, freshly prepared by our chefs and served around the table.
