Simplicity

At our monthly lunches, members invite and bring along a guest. The aim of doing business through introduction underwrites the raison d'être of the group. Building relationships with others generates trust and entertaining guests over a fabulous luncheon allows for business friendships to begin.

Events

Monthly luncheons

The main ReformNet events are monthly luncheons. These take place in the fine dining setting of the Ulster Reform Club in Belfast. They commence with a drinks reception where members and guests have the opportunity to mingle and network. 

 

This is followed by a three-course meal, during which attendees give a short introduction to their businesses. A guest speaker gives a 20-minute business insight with Q&A to close. Networking and the exchange of business cards and LinkedIn profiles completes the event.

History

Business Networking Since 2005

ReformNet was established by Robert Hood in 2005. It was set up in response to a business need i.e. to make contact and communicate directly with the decision maker. The objective was to meet professionals of influence, business people who could open doors and quickly turn a ‘cold lead’ into a warm or ‘hot appointment’.

 

The concept was simple - to shortcut the initial ‘getting to know you’ process and establish a business opportunity through introduction. ReformNet became, and is today, an effective business networking organisation…with a difference. ReformNet continues to build on business networking success.
