Business 4 Breakfast Networking Expands

Business 4 Breakfast (B4B) has prospered at The Bar since the first meeting 18 months ago, leading to the opening of a second group.  It attracts approximately 25 people per week from all sorts of professional and trade backgrounds and allows members to meet and be introduced to each other’s networks of contacts in a structured format.  It works because the informal setting allows members to get to know each well, build trust and enjoy arguably the best bacon sandwiches in York on a Friday morning!

B4B meetings are every Friday morning between 7-8.30am, if you would like more information or want to come along to a free taster session call James Foster on 01904 643238.

Redecoration Work Completed

Every 5 years the Bar Convent is fully redecorated externally.  This is no small task as the entire building is surrounded in sections for 3 months as each section is surveyed, remedial joinery and slating repairs are undertaken and finally redecorated.  On this occasion further improvements were made to the building to add new Digital TV aerials and guttering improvements. It has been a challenge however the final result  has really improved the appearance of the building.

Why not come and have a look if you haven’t been for some time?
