About First Friday Networking
First Friday Lewes is run on a voluntary basis by Robin Houghton of Eggbox. As someone who recognised the value of business networking, Robin was looking for a networking group in her home town which didn't involve large fees, sit down meals or heavy commitments. When she came across Steve Wilson's First Friday Network, she felt it was a model that could work well in Lewes, and set about starting it up.
The first meeting was held in Lewes on Friday 4th May 2007 and over 40 people attended. With the exception of August, each month the attendance has averaged 35.
Robin was previously involved in running Lewes Artisans, a web directory and membership organisation for local tradespeople, artists, makers, musicians and practitioners.
Steve Wilson, of Wilson Design Associates, started First Friday in Chichester in March 2003. Since then, Second, Third and Last Friday groups have all been set up around the Sussex & Hampshire area, and First Friday Lewes is the latest addition.
All Friday networks are aligned to each other but are quite individual. They serve the business community by way of offering a venue to network, promote, share and exchange ideas.
