A Morning of Connections and Inspiration at Eshott Hall

Jun 19, 2025 | News

What a truly beautiful summer’s morning it was at Eshott Hall! 121 Business Links was absolutely thrilled to host our very first networking event in this stunning setting. We welcomed 33 fantastic attendees, and the energy and buzz of connections were palpable.

Our morning was enriched by two incredible guest speakers:

  • Ed Burrows from Wildhive Collection gave us a captivating run-through of the exciting renovation plans for Eshott Hall. It’s set to transform into a beautiful hotel and wellness retreat, and we can’t wait to see the vision unfold!
  • We also heard from Alastair Carrington-Wathey, Education & Enterprise Manager atAlnwick Garden Trust. Alastair shared a fascinating insight into the Trust’s vital work, particularly how they support the local community through education and various valuable programmes.

A special mention goes out to Rachael Masterman from Lloyds Motor Group, who proudly displayed her brand new BYD car at the hall entrance. It certainly sparked a lot of interest and was a great talking point for everyone!

One of the highlights of the event was taking our popular reverse networking groups outside. We were able to enjoy the glorious summer gardens of Eshott Hall, which provided the perfect backdrop for meaningful conversations and new connections to bloom in the fresh air.

At 121 Business Links, events like these truly embody our mission: “Growth happens when we support each other.” We believe in fostering environments where everyone can thrive and build lasting professional relationships.
