Director Connect – Directors social networking

Hosted by me Jarmila Yu in my capacity as Chair of the Institute of Directors Surrey and Berkshire Branch, join us for a relaxing end to the day and social peer to peer director networking over drinks.

An evening of conversation at the fabulous Foxhills which serves as the IoD Surrey and Berkshire Branch Hub, that IoD members affectionately call it the IoD Pall Mall of the home counties!

These events are held every other month, 6 social meetups a year. Part of the ‘designed by directors for directors’ series of events I’ve brought to market, each one allows open networking so we can discuss what’s going in business across Surrey and Berkshire and so we can support one another through times of opportunity and challenge.

An an IoD branch event, each event provides an opportunity to share key IoD branch updates and celebrate IoD member news with each other too. There’s no formal presentations, as the content and conversation comes from the attendees.

Come along and meet other IoD Director Members and Directors from the broader business community. Enjoy this special networking opportunity in the relaxed and convivial setting that is Foxhills Club & Resort.

This bi-monthly IoD support informal social meetup also gives you the opportunity to meet some of the IoD Surrey and Berkshire team of 30+ ambassadors (who serve as go-to experts in their field), a chance to tap into their knowledge, expertise and networks and maximise your IoD membership.

Refreshments available to purchase on the night.

The difference between a good director and a great director is the company they keep. Meet and learn from directors across the UK and beyond. Connect with us to broaden your network, build your career and strengthen your organisation.

This event is open to IoD members, and those interested in becoming a member.

Please kindly note that due to renovations onsite at Foxhills taking place during Q1 2026 our usual Manor Lounge Bar in the Manor House may not be used for this event. A confirmation email just before the event date will confirm which room at Foxhills the event will be taking place in. Should you miss this communication, then staff at Foxhills will be happy to direct you to the new room on the event evening. Thank you for your careful observation of this point.

We look forward to seeing you there!
