You asked for more networking. We listened.

We’re bringing you the very first PLATF9RM Business Networking Lunch in the Grounds, and it’s all happening in Hove on Wednesday 15th May, from 12 – 2 PM. Exclusively for PLATF9RM members, this is your chance to step away from the desk, grab a bite, and connect with the brilliant minds that make up our community.

After our lunch at Tower Point, we’re keeping the momentum going, this time with a Hove twist.

Expect a laid-back, welcoming atmosphere where you can chat with someone new, catch up with familiar faces, and maybe even meet your next collaborator, client, or creative partner.

We’ll have delicious food provided by Halisco, so you can nibble and natter your way through the afternoon. And because this is PLATF9RM, there’s always more than just a good lunch…
Joining us is Andy from Barclays Eagle Labs, a friendly face (with some cracking stories) with free, practical advice on everything from business growth to funding, financial planning, sector-specific support, and strategic introductions. If you’ve got a business challenge or an idea in the works, Andy’s here to help move it forward.

Our recent member survey showed a clear demand for more networking opportunities—and this event is here to deliver. Whether you're looking to build connections, gain advice, or just enjoy good food with good people, this lunch is for you.

🌞 Casual networking in The Grounds

📈 Business advice + connections from Barclays Eagle Labs
👯 A chance to meet other PLATF9RM members in Hove
♥️ Good vibes, great conversations, and a full belly
