Join us at Dugout London #13 - October 2026, with a triple bill of thought leader stimulus from Liz Barclay, Charlotte Fowles and Niall Jones of The Peer Space

"Recipe for Success"

Brought to you by The Peer Space

Join us on Wednesday October 21st 2026 from 6PM for a peer gathering over dinner of the international business community in London that night.

A space to gather, share experiences, explore topics and enjoy thought leadership pieces of collective interest at an inclusive dinner.

Hosted in Central London

For October's Dugout we will be immersing in the theme: 'Recipe for Success' - what the ingredients are, and how to conjure up a recipe for it, with stimulus over starters from The Peer Space Founder / MD - Niall Jones, over mains from author, broadcaster, journalist and co-founder of Business111.com - Liz Barclay, and over desserts from leadership + executive coach and speaker at The Executive Adventurer - Charlotte Fowles.

What will be covered:

Niall will be kicking off the dinner session, and the first in a third year of London Dugout's, by putting to the table over the introductions round, the question - 'What is the one critical recipe ingredient for success?', encouraging thoughts on what success means and looks like to each of the diners at the table, as they take it in turns to present themselves to the room.

Liz will pick up from there, sharing her experience from over 30 years in radio and tv broadcasting and 4+ years as the UK small business commissioner, to stimulate a discussion over mains with her Strategic Recipe for Success: Passion. People. Partnership. Robust Governance. And shifting from working in the business to working on it with an end goal in mind. As she put it is simple to write down, but not to execute.

Finally, Charlotte, who specialises in helping professionals overcome the limiting beliefs that often hold them back in life and work, will bring her experience and stimulus to the table over desserts, with her talk - 'Success without self sabotage', as we bring the Dugout dinner discussion to a close at the end of the evening.

So, expect an epic triple bill of discussion stimulus with plenty of time before and after dinner for informal networking at what will no doubt be a highly interactive discussion at the table stimulated by Niall, Liz and Charlotte.
