How it works:

It lasts about 2 hours with a break in the middle (after 1 hour)

The room is set out with 12 lots of 4 chairs (usually)

Each person is told to find a seat is given a number from 1 to 4.

You have 3 minutes in each group to tell the other three businesses about your own business, this is repeated around the chairs until all of you have successfully explained what you do, how you do it and exchanged business cards.

Then one person stays (number one) and then 2, 3, 4 fet to move on to the next lot of chairs and it all starts again.

The main advantages of this is the sheer amount of local Kingston upon Hull business people you will successfully inform on your particular business rather than maybe talking to a few in a room informally.
