Exeter's Young Professionals Network goes underground

The Gilbert Stephens Young Professionals Network (YPN) this month donned hard hats and trainers on a spooky Halloween tour around Exeter’s Underground Passages. The networking group got up close and personal as they worked their way around the system of medieval passages under Exeter High Street and were taught more about the city as a centre of commerce and historical importance.

After the tour, the group emerged above ground, dusted themselves off and headed over to Artigiano coffee and wine bar to socialise over craft beer and shared pizza planks.

Alastair Jack, from BCR Associates, said: “We always enjoy coming to YPN events and look forward to seeing what the venue will be each month. It is the highlight of the networking calendar and I really enjoyed this month’s combo. It was great to socialise with other professionals whilst we were enjoying the tasty pizzas; to hear about the work that is going on in the city and how we can perhaps collaborate.”

The YPN team at Gilbert Stephens is always on the lookout for new members, so if you would like to join this friendly and fun networking group, which now boasts over 300 members, please contact the team on: ypn@gilbertstephens.co.uk
