"Good Evening Linda.
I’m CC’s biggest fan, it’s done wonders for my business! You and Steve have both unlocked so many priceless opportunities that would have otherwise inaccessible not only for my business but speaking on behalf of small businesses in general.
I just wanted to say thank you to you both for all you have done for the Colchester Business Community in the way of Colchester Connected.
Again many thanks.
Kind Regards,
Zak"

"Congratulation on the launch of the 2nd Colchester Connected magazine. I have found your event to be one of the best and most successful networking breakfasts I have ever attended and I am especially impressed with quality of the attendees. I always leave looking forward to the next event. As a Colchester businessman I would like to thank everyone at Colchester Connected for producing and delivering this great magazine."

"The BCT Consortium breakfast event that I attended last week is one of the best that I have ever attended as a broker. All of the staff were very welcoming upon arrival and extremely well organised.
It was certainly the largest amount of local employers that I have seen attend such an event.
The presentations were informative with regards to Training and Education, and having a very funny commentator was like a breath of fresh air as it was a different approach.
The balance was fantastic, as was the venue. The professional and decorative way it was laid out complemented the excellent hospitality perfectly.
Well done to all who organised this event, BCT clearly has great local employer relationships who in turn wish to support their local providers and Colleges."

"I just thought I would let you know that we were called by a very large company based in Colchester and asked to attend a meeting to discuss their recruitment requirements. During the meeting we asked them why they called Pyramid and they said it was purely the fact that they had read our article in Colchester Connected. They thought it was really well written and loved the wellies!!!! If we successfully recruit for these positions it will be another large amount of revenue thanks to your magazine.
Thank you all once again, at this rate we may as well pay for 12 months up front and be featured each and every month."
Louise Balfour MREC, Pyramid Recruitment

The breakfast was great, the company was excellent and the presentations and entertainment were all superb.
In my view, this model that you have created is the front runner of all networking organisations in and around Colchester. It is really helping people to work together and enjoy life "
