Alumni Network

The university's first alumni networking event was hailed as a great success.

The first in a series of alumni networking events was well attended by alumni, university staff, students and business colleagues and the Alumni Team have received great feedback from attendees.

The evening began with a talk from Martyn Best, Director of North West PR agency, Paver Smith, offering top tips on how to network and conduct yourself in a networking environment, followed by inspirational advice on how best to maximise your talents from leading consultant Gwen Coyle.

Talks were then followed by informal networking with drinks and canapés on the landscaped roof garden of the university's new £8m Business, Law and Criminology building.

David Harrison, Harrison Business Services: ‘'The evening was very interesting and informative. I was most impressed by the facilities that Edge Hill has to offer the wider community and found the staff engaging and enthusiastic.''

David Poole, Nike (UK): ‘'I haven't been back on campus for over 15 years and it's amazing to see how it has developed! I can't believe I haven't been back sooner and am really looking forward to the next event.''

Caroline Mitchell, Affinity Officer: ‘'It was great to welcome back former students to the campus, along with the university's business colleagues, as we continue to help alumni get ahead in the marketplace. Having received such positive feedback I am looking forward to arranging further networking opportunities.''
