A Chester solicitor has taken over the running of a networking group connecting the city’s young professionals – with her first event including a glitzy champagne reception held at one of the area’s most exclusive, luxury jewellers.
Bryony Chambers-Towers from top legal firm Aaron & Partners is the new host of Chester Young Professionals Networking (CYPN), and kicked off her first session in style, with a special gathering at Boodles Jewellers in Chester.
Since being re-launched last year following a pandemic-enforced pause, the monthly event has gone from strength to strength – with the city centre store packed full of young professionals including property experts, lawyers and accountants.
Bryony joined Aaron & Partners in May last year, and supports the Planning, Environment, Energy and Regulatory team as a Trainee Solicitor.
She said: “It’s a real privilege to take over the running of the CYPN as we aim to bring a new generation of Chester’s young professionals together.
“As someone who’s relatively new to Chester, I know how important it is to have a good network of people you can call upon, both in a personal and business sense.”
CYPN was reinvigorated by Aaron & Partners in September 2021 following the pandemic, as in-person events began to resume.
After the reception at Boodles, guests moved onto nearby Barlounge, with those in attendance including employees from firms such as BA Commercial, Thomson Reuters and gap personnel.
Bryony added: “It was great to see so many successful young people from well-known firms here in one space, networking and chatting in a relaxed environment.
“Boodles was a superb venue to host my first event, and I must say I’m already looking forward to the next one.
“There will be a lot of young people in and around Chester who are keen to meet other like-minded professionals, or want to attend their first networking event. I’d encourage them all to come along.”
The next Chester Young Professionals Networking event takes place on Thursday, 8th September at Barlounge Chester from 6pm. For more information, or if you would like to attend, email [email protected].
