Alea Nottingham has been a member of RSVIP for a number of years and it is by far, our favourite Networking organisation. Over the years we have made many friends and enjoyed many laughs as well as customers and we foresee our membership to continue for many years to come.

I am really pleased Firth & Scott Insurance Brokers joined RSViP as we have built a good group business friends who we see on a regular basis. There is always an excellent turnout making this one of the leading networking events in Nottingham. It is always nice to see a familiar faces as well as lots of new faces and new companies in the room all there with the purpose of networking and meeting people and introducing their business to you and vice versa. Fiona has a knack of picking great venues and partners to really enhance the whole evening.

We have been members of RSViP for the last year and always find their events to be relaxed, professional and welcoming. The venues they use are all of a really nice and the drinks and canapés always give an air of exclusivity to the events. We have made several new business contacts over the last year – as well as a few friends. I couldn’t recommend RSViP highly enough.

“I’ve been  a member of RSViP for approx 8 months now and whilst I’ve not been able to attend all meetings due to work commitments, those I do attend I really enjoy. I tell people that RSVIP is ‘high-end’ networking. I’m too long in the tooth to be messing around in the puddle. I want to be in the big pond with the bigger fish :)”

“Can I just say that after being a member for a year now that Fiona and all of her staff make you feel at home at every meeting and put you at ease. RSVIP has been great for me meeting new people and businesses and making new friends. I look forward to the last Thursday of each month and by then, ready for a drink and a good chat!! Looking forward to 2015. Thanks to Fiona and her staff- see at the next meeting!!”

“Being a member of RSVIP has put me in touch with so many people I would have otherwise not met. It’s great to meet the decision makers and the events are such a refreshing change from the usual networking meetings that take place.”

 “I have really enjoyed meeting like minded business people and discussing various topics in lovely social surroundings, plus I have generated about £5000.00 since joining in less than a year!”

“I have been to a lot of networking events and I can categorically say that RSViP is the best. Not only are the events fun, (which is important and not always the way for some other networking sessions!), but I do gain a significant amount of business that I can track back directly to the people I meet at RSViP’s events – People who it is unlikely I would have met otherwise.”

“It is always an absolute pleasure to work with Fiona and her colleagues at RSViP; the networking events are second to none. The gatherings are always well organised at top venues, good fun and attended by people that are likely to turn out to be useful business contacts.”

“As a Business member of RSViP for over three years, I have always found the events to be informative,well organised, as well as thoroughly enjoyable evenings.”

“RSViP organise and run a variety of great networking events and are very well connected in Nottingham’s business community. I have attended a number of RSViP’s events and have always found them to be well organised and well attended by an interesting and useful mix of contacts.”

“RSViP is without question in my mind the best networking event to meet new people and get to know the decision makers. The informal approach along with excellent venues allow you to have the right conversations without having to rush which happens at so many other networking events. I have just subscribed for another year’s membership and look forward to meeting more new people and enjoying  the excellent networking evenings Fiona and her team organise so well.”

“Response Network Limited have been members of RSVIP for over two years now.  Fiona hosts great, monthly work socials that are always extremely busy and always full of new faces and other like minded business leaders.  We have built up some great relationships and have had some really good referrals building on those relationships.  The RSViP card is also an added bonus, which makes dining out even more pleasurable with the added benefit of the discounts that you get.”

“We combined #networking with a spot of cocktail making last night! Great fun, thank you @RSViP_ ☺”

“Great night last night for @RSViP_ 8th birthday! Best networking in Nottingham! Here’s to the next 8 years!”

“Just wanted to say what a fantastic event last night was. I’ve done a lot of networking over the years and this was a stand out event.”

“Having only just joined as a member of RSViP, we are thrilled with the amount and the quality of contacts that we have made already. It is really nice to network in a relaxed environment and due to them taking place in a different location each time, getting to know more places in Nottingham to go out for food and drink. RSViP truly is the networking heaven for businesses based in and around Nottingham, as it covers a wide range of industries and sectors and with the addition of the Facebook page this allows us to connect with more companies throughout the month. I look forward to the last Thursday of every month!”

“We enjoyed last night’s event so much that we missed our last train to Manchester! 🙂 “

“Thank-you to WREN – (Women’s Real Estate Network) for a very enjoyable networking lunch today. The event was hosted by RSViP- Nottinghamshire’s Most Unique Business Network. It was good to hear Jef Todd presenting his marketing toolbox tips to the group.”

“Many thanks for the email and for the invitation. Like all of your events I’ve seen, this sounds fantastic! I’d love to attend and I have just responded via the RSVP button at the bottom of the invite.”

“Just want to formally say how marvellous I think your business is and how I sincerely admire your tenacity and approach and wish you so well for the future.”

“Fantastic event last night at @RSViP_, thank you to Fiona and the team. Cant wait for the next one!” #greatcompanies #networking

“Thanks @RSViP_ for letting us host last night we had a fab time!”

“Had a great evening of #networking at @RSViP_ in #Nottingham. Thanks to Fiona for the invite. Very well organised and met some great people.”

“What an amazing evening at @RSViP_ thank you so much Fiona for inviting me. Caught up with some great people.”

“Fab evening at @RSViP_ as always. Great people, venue, nibbles and bubbles” ?? #networking

“Another fab networking event, thanks @RSViP_ !”

“A fantastic networking event last week @RSViP_ we even had a tour of Notts County FC by a veteran” #networking

“After researching and attending various networking events I am pleased to have decided that RSViP is the right networking venue for our business and would like to join.”

“Another great @RSViP_ event held @nottscounty loved the tour too! Looking forward to next month ?”

“So happy to have hosted @RSViP_ tonight. Lots of great people networking and enjoying the tours with Les Bradd!” #venue #notts

Great night last night at @RSViP_ with @Rosebudgrowth! Lovely meeting some other #Notts businesses. #Nottingham #Business

“@RotheraSharp Presenting to Nottingham Girls School tonight about routes into the legal profession. Thanks to @RSViP_ for the introduction!”

“I have very much enjoyed the membership – and I will continue to recommend RSVIP to people as my impression from all the events has always been very positive.”

“It’s time for our membership to be renewed I believe, Georgina and myself have very much enjoyed the networking group.

We would like to go for a gold membership so we can sponsor another event this year.”

“I was somewhat sceptical about networking events, and having attended several different ones I found Fiona’s approach both refreshing and different… No need to stand up and give a pitch, no high pressure tactics to join RSVIP.  The people who attend the events are from a diverse range of business backgrounds, but more importantly they are very genuine friendly people.  The relaxed informal atmosphere, coupled with beautiful venues, great canapés and drinks is the perfect environment to acquire both new business opportunities and new friends!  Add that to the benefits of a RSVIP discount card means becoming a member is really a no brainer. “

“I want to say that I think the events are really great, so well attended and in good venues. I’ve made some great connections and I’m sure I’ll be back sometime soon.”

“We would love to continue- can you send over the agreement and I will get it signed.

So excited to be working with you again for 2017…”

“It was an excellent night Fiona, many thanks to you and your team.”

“As you know I have always enjoyed your events and think they are great- so I have nothing but praise for them and will always recommend it as one of the best there is.”

“@RSViP_ was great this evening! Lovely bunch of people to network with over in #Nottingham 😊👌🏻#networking “

“@RSViP_ Thanks for another great night. We were really spoilt with the delicious sushi and nibbles!”

“Well organised and full of interesting and useful contacts.”

“Great relaxed social networking environment! Everyone was so welcoming – met lots of interesting professionals and I am looking forward to meeting more in the future! Thanks Fiona and the RSVIP team!”

“A really relaxed business networking environment. Really enjoyable and many great people.”

“Experienced my first RSViP networking event last night at Baresca, it was a fantastic night with some really interesting and great people!! Was extremely relaxed evening and you could tell everyone wanted to be there!! Speaking to 2 ladies at the beginning of the night that had been a part of the group for 3-4 years which proves how fantastic it is!!”

“If you haven’t signed up to RSViP already, do it. You will not regret it. Fiona’s networking events are the best in the business. I have been to so many now and made great long term contacts. Her events have the right balance of professionalism and laid back style. No heavy pitching, just great people looking to meet like minded others. Look forward to the next event.”

“Fun, friendly and open to network with a huge range people. Fiona is professional and makes a conscious effort to help get the best out each event. RSViP has really helped our business get well contacted over the last 18 months!”

“Introduced a number of people to this networking group now as I truly believe its the best one in the area and has worked really well for me!! Keep up the good work!!”

“I first met Fiona back in 2008 when I designed RSViP’s new logo and branding. Fiona has a great way of connecting you with the right people in the right businesses! I love RSViP’s more relaxed style of networking and hope to attend many more events in the future to help the client base of Doe Design grow even further! Thanks for your continued support Fiona.”

” I must admit that I hadn’t seen your network previously but I was having a drink at Merchants a couple of weeks ago and saw people arriving for your event.  It looked interesting and given that I have operations right across notts derby and Leic it looked like a good thing to be a part of- I’ll sort the paperwork now!”

“I also want to thank-you for sending my discount card over, I’m certainly looking forward to using it -I’ve already commissioned one of the estate agents within the network to sell one of our houses 🙂

Thanks for the graphic designer recommendation – I’ll certainly look forward to meeting her at the next event.”

We had a great time showcasing and networking at RSViP- Nottinghamshire’s Most Unique Business Network yesterday. Huge thanks to Fiona Duncan for the helping hand. It was great to show people how good our papers and IN Magazine are and we were thrilled with the response.  Thanks to everyone for their interest and we hope to see you in our magazine soon! 

“I had a look through your site, seems like you’ve really grown since the last time we met.

Amazing work on your part ;)”

“Great venues, well organised, many new faces at every event, RSViP hosts the finest networking events, definitely the go-to event I would recommend,  plus I have received three orders in the past few months, generating approx £1,340.00 through RSViP so far.”

“Great to see you last night.  I really enjoyed it and it’s been a while since I have attended. It was a great event with some good people and some useful contacts made. LOVED the magician – he was amazing!”
