What our members have to say…

Since becoming CEO, connecting with Surrey Event Professionals (SEP) was one of the first steps I took, and it’s been a fantastic decision. I’d heard great things about the network, and joining their sessions has been genuinely enjoyable. It’s wonderful to catch up with familiar faces and meet new contacts in such a supportive environment. On my second visit, I met Kate from De Vere East Horsley—we hit it off right away, arranged a one-to-one, and before I knew it, she’d joined Surrey Hills Enterprises (SHE) as a member. We now have events planned at her venue, and she’s already seen the benefits of being part of SHE. SEP’s collaborative spirit aligns perfectly with our values, and we’re looking forward to working together on some joint networking events in 2025. Collaboration is essential for success, and SEP’s network truly brings people together in a way that benefits everyone involved. I’m delighted to recommend SEP and excited to keep building connections within this great community.

Maggie Howell | Chief Executive Officer, Surrey Hills Enterprises

We at Lamplight Media attend a good number of local networking groups in Surrey & Hampshire, and Surrey Event Professionals is by far our favorite. Steve and Hannah are consummate professionals, both great to work with and good at what they do. Through the network, we have sparked conversations with new clients, built relationships with suppliers in our industry, and worked on a significant value of projects indirectly from SEP contacts. Our favourite part of the network is the type & scale of businesses that attend. We highly recommend the network and consider it a no-brainer for us to be a part of.

Tim Marsh | Managing Director, Lamplight Media Ltd

To be able to meet so many fellow event professionals in such a relaxed environment is an absolute joy, it gives an opportunity to collaborate properly, share industry news, and importantly make and maintain relationships with some extremely useful contacts. This is specialised, effective networking, and it’s also great fun.

Ian Blyth | Owner & Writer, C & H Marketing
Being a part of Surrey Event Professionals has been more than a networking opportunity. It has been a positive and enlightening experience both personally and professionally, in turn benefitting the business in such a dynamic way. The connections I have made are invaluable, having made true and genuine relationships with local businesses and like-minded people. The resources, connections and insights are invaluable and the community support that celebrates every win, success and challenge is inspiring. Steve are Hannah have supported growing our connections in the right direction and it has been a delight to be a part of the journey of the Surrey Event Professionals.
Simone Brinkworth | General Manager , Holiday Inn Guildford

A great way to connect with other businesses in the local community! An opportunity to grow your network, share advice, refer clients and work with each other. Totally recommend going to an SEP event to see how it can help your business and get your name out there. I’ve made a lot of connections which has helped my small business grow
