Following on from the successful monthly networking events in Bangkok and of course the annual gala parties here in Pattaya, the Movers & Shakers team launched their first regular networking at the Havana Bar at the Holiday Inn on March the 8th.
So as not compete with established network events in town, Movers & Shakers Pattaya will be held quarterly and will be held exclusively at the Havana Bar under the watchful eye of new General Manager Garth Solly.

Kingdom Properties have generously decided to support Movers & Shakers for both the monthly events in Bangkok and every three months in Pattaya, but have allowed for a secondary sponsor to join in as well.
It was somewhat appropriate that the co sponsor for this event was Mix 88.5 (Russell Darrell) who has had a long association with the CEO of Kingdom Properties: Nigel Cornick.

The admission fee was 750 baht for men and 400 baht for ladies and voucher holders, offering great value with free flow beer, wine and soft drinks and delicious finger food.
The founder of Movers and Shakers is Cees Cuijpers (the managing partner of Town & Country Property), a man who is very well acquainted with the networking scene in Pattaya. He explained that he wanted to get the focus back onto corporate networking and to entice people from Bangkok down to Pattaya using prestige venues where people in business can perhaps do more business.

Over two hundred people attended this very first event, which is a credit not just to Movers and Shakers but also to the sponsors who are both highly respected in town and the Havana bar which for many is one of the best venues in Pattaya.
For those who wanted to continue mingling and drinking, the Havana bar offered drinks at discounted prices and there was also another after party at the new night club on Walking Street: The Pier, again with discounts for those who had attended the earlier networking.

The next Movers & Shakers in Pattaya will again be at the Havana Bar probably on the 14th of June and if you fancy a trip up to Bangkok there will be another one of their monthly events on Friday the 29th of March at the Glaz bar in the Plaza Athenee Hotel on Wireless Road.
