The Connect Table
A private table for women running established businesses
The Table where commercial intelligence and inner wisdom can sit side by side in any conversation.
CONNECT is an invitation-only lunch for women carrying the responsibility of owning and leading established businesses.
Eight to twelve women meet around one table each month to connect and have an opportunity to talk about what isn't usually discussed at a business lunch, but is at the heart of what makes business successful and life as a business owner just a little more joyful.
The business matters. And so does the woman running it.
- Gail Biddulph
If You're The Smartest Person At Lunch...
… you’re at the wrong lunch.
CONNECT brings together women with sharp minds, plenty of experience and real value.
Each person brings a different perspective to the Table: commercial knowledge, hard-won wisdom, the experience of juggling life and a growing business and an understanding of what it really means to carry responsibility for a business, its people and its future.
The value comes from being in the right room with the right women and developing the right relationships.
Why The Connect Table Exists
CONNECT exists to put the right people together in a private dining room and let the magic happen.
Gail invites the right mix of people - people with shared values, bright minds and warm hearts - women who are making an impact, leaving a legacy and being shining examples of a life well-lived.
Together, we’re not only growing businesses but also cultivating resilience and hope in a world facing profound systemic challenges.
These lunches are purposefully discreet and offer a high value experience on an invitation basis.
Most business groups focus on growth, performance, leadership and profit while ignoring the condition, instincts and aspirations of the owner.
Other communities create space for purpose, wellbeing and intuition, but lack commercial depth. CONNECT was created for women business owners who don't want to choose between joy and profit.
CONNECT is the only business table that deliberately gives commercial reality and inner wisdom equal weight.
"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful
committed citizens can change the world.
Indeed it is the only thing that ever has."
Gail is hands down the best host and super connector I have ever met. She just knows the right mix of people. And finally, I've found a lunch I can be myself with other high performing business women who just get it! The one lunch I won't ever miss - it's that good!
Join The Table
CONNECT is deliberately limited to a small number of women to protect the quality, trust, balance and depth of the room.
If you believe you would add value to the Table and equally that the Table would add value to you, you are invited to request a private conversation.
Whether you're a carnivore, pescatarian or vegetarian, all dietary needs are catered for. The cost is on a "Pay-For-What-You-Eat" basis, with a non-refundable and non-transferable Seat Reservation of £20 + VAT. We reserve the right to end participation if a participant is domineering in conversations, or is disruptive or is not supportive of the ethos and philosophy of the group.
This is your invitation to join an elite group of high-performing women consciously grounded, dedicated to fulfilling their potential, leaving a legacy that counts... and wringing the greatest joy from life in the process!
What Are People Saying?
The conversation was stimulating, emotional, thought provoking and hilarious! Who knew you could feel so many emotions in a 2 hour “networking” lunch.
Thank you for a wonderful lunch – inspiring, engaging, and a lot of fun!
Going to lunch as a female founder when you don't know anyone can be daunting, but I'm so glad I did. Gail thought of the details so I was totally at ease. It was everything I hoped for and more.
Time flew. Conversation flowed. So much to take away. The best use of a lunch time. Great opportunities created. Gail sees opportunities and connections no-one else does - she's amazing. Can't wait for the next one.
Gail is an amazing host and super connector. She just knows the right people to speak to and why. Calmly elegant, lunch. Ran like clockwork. Created with love.
Nothing like any other networking event I've been to. I couldn't believe the openness, collaboration or the experience and warmth from other ladies. It's amazing.
If you want to uplevel your conversations and connections, go to Gail's lunch.
Warm hearts and bright minds create thought provoking conversations. Absolutely spot-on! The great connections I've made will lead to more business for my company.
