About Us

Where does the name AQ Networking come from?

The AQ in AQ Networking for business is a derivative of ALIQUANTUM, which is Latin in origin and translates as "a good deal".  It encapsulates our networking for business ethos as well as reflecting the way in which we operate.

What do we give you?

• No fuss, no frills, quality networking for business.
• A chance to spend reasonable time talking to people to enable you to get your message across.
• Very cost effective networking for business.
• Very cost effective opportunities to market your business.

What do you gain? 

In a nutshell, the opportunity to gain business, broaden your sphere of contacts, identify potential synergies and alliances as well as potential suppliers and establish and build business contacts - it really is as simple as that. 

What do you need to do?

• Bring a knowledge of your business and a willingness to talk about it.
• Bring your business cards and any appropriate literature.
• Be prepared to listen as well as talk.
• Be prepared to give as well as receive.
• Be specific about who or what you are looking for.

What is the structure?

• No referrals sessions.
• No pressure.
• No formality. 
• Occasional guest speakers who bring a topic to benefit your business.

How much does it cost to attend?

It usually costs only £15.00 to attend if you book online and £20.00 on the door (costs will vary dependent on the venue and type of event).  Although it is really helpful if you register in advance, as our events do sell out and we are limited to specific numbers at each venue, if it is a late decision to attend we will always find room for you. 

How much is membership?

We have kept our membership fees as cost effective as possible.  The price of membership is £480 per year plus £10.00 initial registration fee and that is fully inclusive of membership and meeting attendance fees - there's nothing more to pay! 

What are the benefits of membership?

-  Regular attendance gives you the opportunity to develop real relationships to facilitate referrals and recommendations.
-  Members can bring their Pop-Ups to each meeting.
-  A substitute can attend on your behalf to represent your business as well as their own.
-  Each member will have a profile on the AQ Networking for business website.
-  Members will benefit from discounted rates at Connecting for Business events.
-  Members may attend any group.
-  Members will have access to discounts with preferred suppliers.

What guarantees do you offer?

We guarantee you will meet at least half of the people in the room - if you don't we'll refund your attendance fee.

We start by taking a couple of minutes to welcome you and then the rest of the event is devoted entirely to giving you the opportunity to network for business.
