Chris Caffrey, Founder of Legacy Club

 

Such a great event organised by WillU and Legacy Club. The event brought together entrepreneurs, founders, and business leaders for a mix of sport, networking, and a bit of friendly competition – a winning formula.

A different way to network, and that’s what it’s about. Doing business isn’t all suits and boardrooms – meeting people who become friends first and clients second is what it’s all about for me – well done Legacy Club and WillU for putting on another great collaboration.
