DrivenNet North East Monthly Meeting

DrivenNet is a business networking community with a big difference. It’s aimed at directors and business owners who share a passion for cars and motorsports.

We meet at fantastic car-related venues every month, enjoy the event and make connections. No awkwardness, no pressure, just networking as it should be. We’re not seated, it’s informal and we invite one member presentation each month with absolutely no need to if you don’t want to. It’s all about meeting other business people, sharing the joy of amazing cars and swapping business cards.

It doesn’t matter what you drive either – it’s for people with an appreciation of exciting cars and easy networking.

This month we are visiting Aston Workshop - Over 35 years ago the tiny hamlet of Red Row Beamish became the unlikely home of Aston Martin restoration in the North. In the outbuildings surrounding his stone farmhouse, Aston Workshop founder Bob Fountain’s home restoration of his personal DB5 was the first stage in a decades long obsession with all things Aston Martin. Fuelled by his early successes, Bob’s ambitious nature and love of building projects soon meant that more space was being constructed nearby in order to work on more cars simultaneously and employ more staff with the specialist skills needed to pursue the very best engineering and restoration solutions for his growing customer base.
