About Zoco
Meet Nick, the Head Honcho
I've attended and hosted many different networking events and groups over the last 16 years and learnt a lot along the way. I wanted to do things a bit differently to other networking groups.
This is somewhere left of the middle, whereby the right side are the very formal networking groups with strict rules, and the left is basically a social club.
Zoco is all about supporting each other. After all, that is basically what networking is: helping each other's businesses to grow. The most important thing as well is having fun whilst doing it, right? Otherwise what are we doing this for!
I'm based in Hampton, SW London, but Zoco is set to grow way beyond this, with members from all over the UK and even a few who join us from abroad and work remotely.
