This blog post is a repost of Purple Networking 07/05/19.
Introduction
I was due to attend another event earlier yesterday, but it was cancelled due to reasons beyond my control, so I stayed at the library for more than SIX hours for my job search and blogging. After that amount of time on a computer, I decided to log off and head to Purple Networking. I got to Xenia Lounge for 16:30, an hour and a half early.
Why did you attend Purple Networking?
I attended Purple Networking to see what I could do to help others and to see both regular faces and new faces too.
Who did you meet and talk with at Purple Networking?
- Stuart Ritchie, Organiser, Purple Networking (Twitter)

What was discussed?
There were several things that were discussed, which are listed here:
- Introduction to new attendees
- Working for Utility Warehouse (self employed and a £50 start up fee).
- Blogging and my blog
- Football … Manchester United (UH OH!!!), Liverpool, Tottenham Hotspurs and Manchester City
- The job that lasted one shift
How do you think Purple Networking went?
I felt that it was amazing, like it always is and met new attendees, even one with an interesting job title … Mind Warrior. It was great to see the regular faces too.
Conclusion
Once again, I really enjoyed Purple Networking last night, but less of the Manchester united please (haha!).
With thanks

I would also like to thank every attendee (both new and existing) who attended Purple Networking. It’s always great to see both new and old attendees alike.
One final thanks to those amazing connections (old and new) who agreed to be mentioned in this blog post about Purple Networking.
