Zoco Dorking In-Person Meeting

Zoco stands for Zoom + Coffee! And is headed up by Nick Blanchard.

Nick says: I run informal online AND in-person groups. I wouldn't call it networking exactly, though we are a supportive network, but without the formalities, strict structures, rules and constant selling!

We officially launched in August 2020 after a few months of free meetings to support people during lockdown. Whilst the Founder Nick is based in South West London, we now have visitors from all over the world visiting us each week, many able to do business completely online so not tied to geographic limitations!

We always encourage our members to set up 1-1 calls with each other outside of the official meetings. Building relationships is critical not only for business success but also for our mental health.

Now we are also starting to run new in-person local groups, so welcome to the Dorking group!

One day we might do a group meditation session, another day an Accountant will give some useful advice at these ridiculous times, another day a Nutritionist will give some basic tips….it's real variety!

Generally, it is small business owners working independently, as well as a few network marketeers, freelancers, and health & wellness consultants (who we need more than ever now right?!) There is a real mix of ages, backgrounds, professions and stages of business.

Here's a recent screenshot from one of our group Zoom calls:

For the online sessions, we don't mind where you join from! Most of us tend to be based in the SW London / Surrey / SW area as this is where it started and where Nick the founder is based. For this session as it's one of our first in-person sessions, obviously you'll need to be fairly close to the Dorking area!

This is the perfect combination of being social, friendly and relaxed, whilst also making great connections for our businesses. We stay on track without long monologues or boring sales pitches. This is about getting to know others and figure out how we can be a supportive community.
