Celebrating a year of success: the Big Fat Greek Club’s spectacular summer party

In the heart of Brighton & Hove, the Big Fat Greek Club (BFGC) celebrated its first anniversary with a summer party that perfectly encapsulated the club’s vibrant spirit and community impact.

With over 70 guests gathered under the summer evening sky at Nostos Hove, the event was filled with music, laughter and the undeniable charm of Greek hospitality.

Origins of the Big Fat Greek Club

The Big Fat Greek Club was born from the vision of Penina Shepherd, CEO of Acumen Business Law, and Kyriakos Baxevanis, owner of Nostos Hove. What started as a lighthearted conversation between two visionary leaders quickly became a revolutionary networking hub. They sought to create a space where business networking transcends the usual formalities, infused with the lively essence of Greek culture and Mediterranean warmth. This initiative was designed to break away from traditional networking, emphasising genuine connections and community building.

A year of achievements

In just one year, the Big Fat Greek Club has transformed into a beloved fixture of Brighton’s business landscape, attracting hundreds of attendees to its monthly events. The club has successfully bridged the gap between professional networking and social enjoyment, bringing people together in a relaxed, joyful setting. The summer party showcased this achievement with a DJ, a magician and the irresistible urge to dance under the stars – all complemented by a well-being corner provided by Little Jasmine Therapies & Spa, offering soothing chair massages to guests.

The success of ‘Pitta Patter’

A highlight of the club’s gatherings has been the engaging ‘Pitta Patter’ interviews conducted by Lyndsay Clay from Connected Brighton. These 10-15 minute heart-to-heart conversations have become a beloved feature, focusing on the personal stories and motivations of attendees, adding depth and warmth to the club’s events.

Looking ahead

As the Big Fat Greek Club gears up for another year, beginning with the next gathering on 27 September 2024, excitement is in the air. Plans are underway to introduce new and impactful features throughout the year, ensuring each event offers unexpected delights and “hidden gems” that keep attendees coming back for more. This innovative approach reflects the club’s commitment to fostering an engaging, evolving community of business leaders.

With its foundation firmly rooted in Greek hospitality and the joy of shared experiences, the Big Fat Greek Club looks forward to another year of creating meaningful connections and memorable events.
