“I recently had the pleasure of attending a Kraken Networking event, and it was an experience beyond my expectations. The venue was absolutely stunning, a hidden gem I had never visited before, which really added to the whole experience.”
“What stood out for me was vast range of people to make new connections. I met so many inspiring and unique businesses, I’ve come away with some great potential leads and new meetings I’ve already booked in the diary!”
“The warm atmosphere was complemented by the thoughtful touches like hot coffee and delightful snacks, making the conversations even more enjoyable. It’s networking with a twist, I loved hearing from the speaker and found their story to be really inspiring.”
