Championing the Midlands over delicious ‘KuKu-style’ luncheons
The Embassy Luncheons will highlight the Midlands as a place for investment, culture and tourism, by connecting leaders and entrepreneurs with unique opportunities whilst supporting our region’s ambition to develop and grow our economy and communities.
The vibrant and experiential luncheons are a brand new series of opportunity-focused, ‘must-attend’ events, bringing together a unique range of special guests, where you can benefit from making new connections with diverse and like-minded entrepreneurs, leaders and public figureheads from across the Midlands and wider UK.
Your Hosts
Hosted by our Embassy Luncheon ‘Governors’, the multi-award winning entrepreneurs, Stephen Goddard and Philip Brooks-Stephenson, the luncheons will convene at hand-picked venues, offering delicious hospitality over a three-course meal including Cheese and Port. Each luncheon will take place in a different county across the region, giving you access to build relationships from the wider Midlands, not just locally. You will also benefit from ‘door-opening’ personal introductions to fellow guests and wider prospects.
Distinguished Speakers
At each luncheon you will meet and hear from a distinguished leader or figurehead through our interactive, ‘a conversation with…’ section, conducted by luncheon ‘Governors’, Stephen and Philip. The special guest-speaker will cover informative topics and opportunities you won’t hear about anywhere else, giving you a valuable connection and the opportunity for ‘Q&As’ – so no boring speeches or presentations.
A Fresh Experience
The Embassy Luncheons will be unlike any other business lunch, offering one of the region’s premier business forums for business leaders to come together, all whilst supporting charity organisations and championing the Midlands as a thriving destination for business.
The friendly and informal luncheons are open to any business or professional who wishes to grow their organisations, whilst learning about exciting business opportunities and building their profile through peer-to-peer networks, all whilst enjoying superb hospitality and a few treats and surprises along the way.
So, whether you wish to connect with like-minded business-people, entertain clients, build quality connections, access opportunities to grow your business or raise the profile of your organisation, the Embassy Luncheons are dates not to be missed.
No membership – No monthly commitment – No presentations – No pushy sales
A ROYAL INSPIRATION
The recent Coronation of His Majesty The King was an historic event that celebrated our country and brought communities together. This has inspired the creation of the KuKu Embassy Luncheons, in bringing people together and to support the Midlands economy.
Our Embassy Governors, Stephen and Philip have also set-up a ‘charity objective’ as part of the luncheons, which will support locally impacting charity organisations in our mission to support the Midlands at community level.
His Majesty’s Armed Forces will also be a key focus of the luncheons in supporting men and women who have and continue to serve the United Kingdom and Commonwealth. The luncheons will give attending organisations the highly valuable opportunity to ‘Partner with Defence’, through the Ministry of Defence, giving further opportunity and connections.
GLOBALLY AWARD WINNING
Stephen and Philip, who were both born and bred in the Midlands launched the multi-award winning KuKu Connect in 2016 and have built a unique and diverse community of decision makers that span the country, from those representing The Crown, high Public Office, through to local Directors, business owners, institutional leaders, to young entrepreneurs, innovators, micro-enterprises and start-ups, with a collective digital audience of over 100,000 businesses from a spectrum of sectors.
KuKu Connect was the first business in the UK to receive a special national award for their support to businesses and the community during the COVID pandemic, having been given a number of awards for their free support-service during the lockdowns. KuKu have since gone on to receive global acclaim for innovation and outstanding events, in 2022 being named the UK’s ‘Best Networking Membership Organisation’ and the ‘Leading Networking Specialists of the Year’ for 2023.
