It was a networking event for anyone working in the creative, digital or media industries and consisted of free drinks and a range of Indian cuisines. There was also live music, retro games machines and a beer tasting competition. The lads had a great night, even though they nearly fell out over a game of connect 4!

There was a great atmosphere, loads of free drinks on arrival, a beer tasting competition and Connect Four… what more can you ask for!?

Codeworks Connect is the trade association for digital businesses working in North East England, which was set up in 2004, to provide first class support to businesses working in the region’s thriving digital sector.

The membership came about after Rufus were invited to one of Codeworks’ legendary ‘Think and Drink’ events.

We were impressed with what Codeworks had to offer in terms of support for local businesses in the digital industry, so we invited Julie Moore, Codeworks’ membership executive, to our place to tell us more about it.

- Alex Haswell, Rufus’ Marketing Manager

It’s early days, but already we’re taking advantage of what they have to offer, like PR support and the funding of graduate placements. It’s excellent value for money and the connections we will make at their events will be worth while too.”
