New curry club networking event to launch in Shropshire

The inaugural meeting of Networking In The City's (NITC) monthly Curry Club will take place at the Panacea restaurant in Shrewsbury Town Centre on Wednesday 9 May.

Curry Club, which celebrated its 33rd birthday last week, was originally established in Manchester as a property and finance networking event. MD Steve Kettle, who took over six years ago, is now rolling out the format nationwide.

He said:

"We saw a niche to make Curry Club a national, industry-specific network for construction, property and finance professionals. Its successful launch and on-going success in Manchester has led to the expansion of the business model across the UK, with Shropshire now on the list. Each event is held in a relaxed, informal atmosphere, at a prestigious curry house or restaurant, where attendees meet key decision makers including financiers, surveyors, lawyers, architects, developers and contractors, to name just a few."

ESI Ltd, a Shrewsbury based, environmental consultancy has agreed to sponsor the Shropshire Curry Club. Andrew Singleton, land group director at ESI, said:

"ESI provides specialist services to the property and affiliated business sectors and after making some excellent industry contacts and generating business opportunities by attending the Chester Curry Club we decided to sponsor the Shropshire event. It is a unique and proven idea where professionals can develop property related contacts in an informal environment and I believe the only one of its kind in the county."

The first Shropshire Curry Club will take place on Wednesday 9 May 2012 at Panacea in Shrewsbury (located next to Montgomery's Tower). Networking will start with drinks at 12 noon followed by lunch at 1pm. The cost is £20.
