A Fresh Take on Networking in Newcastle!

This week, we had the opportunity to attend the first Apex Founder Members event, hosted at Rio Steakhouse and Tomahawk Steakhouse and it’s safe to say, it wasn’t your typical networking event!

A More Meaningful Way to Connect

Rather than large rooms and quick introductions, the focus is on:

🤝 Curated groups

🤝 Genuine conversations

🤝 Building long-term relationships

An Experience Designed Around People

It’s a format that feels far more aligned with how modern businesses want to connect.

From Brazilian canapés and fresh seafood through to Wagyu and traditional desserts, the event was designed to create a relaxed and engaging environment.

Paired with a great selection of wines, it gave everyone the space to step away from day-to-day pressures and have meaningful conversations.

Why Networking Still Matters for Businesses in the North East

At Fuse Telecom, we spend a lot of time working with:

🏢 Landlords

🤝 Agents

💼 Businesses across the region

And one thing is clear – relationships still drive everything.

Events like Apex create the kind of environment where:

💡 Partnerships naturally form

💡 Ideas are shared

💡 Opportunities develop organically

Building a Stronger Business Community in Newcastle

As the North East continues to grow, having spaces like this for collaboration is incredibly valuable.

It’s not just about networking – it’s about building a stronger business community.

A Strong Start for Apex 👏

A brilliant first event and a strong start for what’s to come.

Well done to everyone involved in bringing it together, particularly Phil Gray and John Forth.

Looking Ahead

We’re looking forward to what’s next…

If you’re part of the commercial property or business community in the North East and want to connect, we’re always happy to have a conversation.
