Andy Lopata’s Summary

KEYNOTE SPEECHES - CONSULTANCY - TRAINING

Labelled ‘Mr Network’ by The Sun, Andy Lopata is one of the UK’s leading business networking strategists. The co-author of two books on networking, his first book, 'Building a Business on Bacon and Eggs' looked at how to run business breakfast meetings, while his second '...and Death Came Third!' received worldwide acclaim and reached number 2 on Amazon.co.uk on its launch.

Andy is the UK Bureau Chief for the US magazine ‘The National Networker’ and has a regular column in Business Matters magazine and 4 Community magazine, as well as being quoted in national press, including The Sunday Times and The Guardian. Additionally, Andy has a weekly show as an expert for the ‘your Business Channel’ internet TV station.

For eight years, Andy was Managing Director of Business Referral Exchange, one of the UK's leading referral-focused networking groups with over 2,000 member companies. Andy now works with companies from one-man bands to global names such as NatWest Bank, Merrill Lynch and Capita to help them realise the full potential from their networking. He is also a former vice-president of the Professional Speakers Association.

Andy works with companies to help them realise full potential from networking. Many businesses network without a clear view of their goals, Andy's experience helps them to develop a focused strategy. Areas of work include acquisition through networking and referrals, breakdown of organisational silos and the development of connectivity skills in future leadership candidates.
