At 4 Networking has become a cornerstone for professional connections and community growth throughout the region. Founded 5 years ago by Lisa Tucker and Louise Hawkins in a cocktail club in Bristol with just six attendees, our network has flourished, reaching over 160 participants at its peak.
Our ethos revolves around collaboration and showcasing local venues, food, and drink producers, all while fostering an environment of fun, new connections, and vital charity support.
Together, we strive to give back to the sectors hit hardest in recent times, including food, drink and hospitality.
Lisa, the founder of At 4 Networking, brings over 25 years of experience in the insurance industry with a deep expertise in risk management, employee benefits, and commercial insurance solutions. She specialises in supporting the food, drink, hospitality, and agriculture sectors and founded At 4 to give back to these communities through networking and charity support. Her leadership and vision continue to drive the network’s growth and community impact.
