  • ELEVATOR PITCH | XXIX EDITION

    On Thursday 16th February, we held the XXIX edition of our Elevator Pitch networking event. On this occasion the event took place at our premises in Wigmore Street, just off busy Oxford Street.

    The event was chaired by Abel Plasencia, our Foreign Trade Manager and Igor Urra, Secretary General, who kicked off the proceedings of the event by explaining the dynamics of this activity to the participants.

    Our Secretary General Igor Urra chaired the event and explained the rules to the attendees.

    For those of you who are not familiar with the Elevator Pitch format, here are the basic rules to bear in mind:

    -Only one participant per company is allowed and there is a maximum of 16 companies taking part in each edition.

    -Up to two companies from the same sector can take register for the event.

    -Each attendee has two minutes to explain the line of business and scope of the company he represents to the rest of participants.

    The reduced number of participants and the format makes this activity a highly interactive one, which aims at providing attendees with the opportunity to explore synergies and avenues of collaboration among them.

    Each participant had a customised badge and name card for the occasion.

    After the round of introductions is over, each participant has an additional two-minute slot to reply to questions made by any of the other attendees. Once the question round is finished, participants can further network without the previous time constrictions.

    On this occasion, a wide variety of sectors were represented among the 14 companies that were in attendance at this edition: After Cross (Public Relations), Firma Foreign Exchange (Banking and Financial Services), Harwood Hutton (Accounting and Auditing Services), Lopez Landa Interiors (Interior Design), Mishcon de Reya (Legal Services), Pullman London St Pancras (Hotel and Accommodation),  Stone Health Clinic (Health Services), Sunfloret (Translation Services), The English Coach (Language Services), Uria (Legal Services), Valtueña (Event Organisers), Yugo Obras  y Decoración (Construction) and We Find Group (Recruitment Agency).

  • ELEVATOR PITCH | XXV EDITION

    On Tuesday 8th March, we held the XXV edition of our Elevator Pitch networking event. This edition took place at Arbina Restaurant, member of the Spanish Chamber. The restaurant is located in the area of Fitzrovia and offers the traditional Mediterranean cuisine in the heart of London.

    Everything was ready for the event at the private room downstairs, which fitted perfectly with the characteristics of this event, where Mr. Javier López de Arbina, welcomed everyone on behalf of Arbina.

    The event was chaired by María Prieto, our Events & Communication Co-ordinator and Cristina Carmona, Head of Corporate Relations and Communication, who explained the dynamics of this activity to the participants, whose main purpose is to provide participants with the possibility to expand their network and to explore further avenues of collaboration with the rest of participants.

    After the brief presentation, each attendee had 2 minutes to give a concise and concrete introduction about their company’s main line of activity and services they provided. Having done so, there was a second opportunity for each participant to ask questions to the rest of participants.

    The reduced format allows participants to introduce their line of business.

    Should you be interested in participating in the next edition of this networking event, there are just a couple of things you need to know regarding this format: Usually there are up to 16 participant companies, and only one representative per company is allowed. However, it is possible to have up to two companies from the same business sector. Therefore, attendees are able to meet a wide variety of companies from different sectors and exchange their business cards.

    On this occasion, there was a wide variety of sectors represented among the 11 companies that took part in this edition: Cooking your Spanish (Cookery and Spanish lessons), E-Lixir Consulting (Digital Communication), Harwood Hutton (Accounting and Auditing Services), Hispalis Group (Construction), Lloyds Bank (Banking and Financial Services), Melia White House (Hotel), Sargadelos Porcelain UK (Fine Porcelain), Scornik Gerstein (Legal Services), The Bentley London (Hotel), and The Client Academy (Business Consultancy Services).
