IoD Surrey Quarterly Directors Business Briefing Lunch at Foxhills

Join the IoD Surrey Branch for an informative midday business and economic update, meaningful discussion and a mouthwatering lunch.

Lunch at the fabulous Foxhills, the IoD Surrey Hub, hosted by the Surrey Chair, Jarmila Yu and Vice Chair, Kate Davis.

We hold four Foxhills lunch events a year, designed by directors for directors, and each one has a specific theme to help you get the most out of the event. 

Each event will provide an opportunity to share insights from the IoD Policy & Governance team who will briefly intro the theme of the event leading us into a lunch discussion. 

Whilst the IoD senior representative will generously share their insights, there will be no formal presentations, as the content and conversation come from the attendees. Whilst we’re keen to hear from the centre, it’s a valuable opportunity for the centre to hear first-hand from us – what we’re seeing and experiencing on the ground in the branch area on the topic being addressed. Outside of the policy voice surveys this is another way we can get our local voice heard and our comments taken to the policy makers. 

Come along and meet other members and enjoy some networking opportunities in the elegant and exclusive environment that is the Orangerie at Foxhills Club & Resort. 

This quarterly director business lunch also gives you the opportunity to meet the IoD Surrey team of ambassadors, a chance to tap into their knowledge, expertise and networks whilst ensuring you are maximising your membership.
