June saw the first in a series of Manchester ‘T-Shirts and Suits Coffee Club’ networking events. Hosted by creative business advisor and long-time CIDS collaborator David Parrish, these get-togethers give creatives a chance to network in a relaxed environment.

Speaking about the first event, fine artist Sophia Butler said: “I met an eclectic and stimulating group of people in an informal setting, which was ideal to bounce ideas around.”

With no formal or set agenda, these free events are open to all types of creative businesses. The next Manchester event is 18 September, from 10am-12noon at Cup Café on Thomas Street.
