Churchill Business Network was set up in 2017, to create in-person networking opportunities for Churchill alumni in London.
The first meeting was in 2018, at the Oxford and Cambridge Club and featured Sir Peter Gershon (U66), former National Grid Chairman, and Steve Churchhouse (G85), former Rolls Royce Director, and since then has held several events in London focusing on specific sectors.
The events usually take the format of a talk, followed by questions and answers, and are personal to the career of the alumni speaking, rather than advertising the company they happen to work in. There is always an opportunity to chat over drinks afterwards.
The network currently has 638 alumni members, whom we email to advertise forthcoming events. If you want to join the list just email us to let us know!
Here’s a list of the events in this series so far. We are always keen to hear from alumni who could volunteer a space at their workplace as a venue and/or would like to see an event in their sector, and even more so from those who would be happy to join a speaker panel!
