Executives on course for business network

EXECUTIVES with a passion for golf can do business on the course by joining a new networking club.

The North East Golf Network is aimed at business owners and senior executives in the North East and has been set up by Mark Stancer and Ian Pilkington.

Mr Stancer, who was the director of golf when De Vere Slaley Hall hosted European Tour events, said: “Membership works on a corporate level, with between one and four named golfers per organisation, and members can view other members’ profiles on our website.

The North East Golf Network (NEGN) is brought to you by a few partners (including us) who enjoy making contacts and making birdies, so that the region’s business executives who enjoy golf can combine two of their keen interests in one day.

With a full calendar of events from April to October, NEGN’s season will provide plenty of opportunity for members to make new acquaintances, develop new business relationships and also to introduce and entertain clients. The NEGN Launch event will take place at Close House on 22nd April. (more…)
