Creating genuine Business friendships
The first Business Networking community set up during a pandemic. Using Zoom in a myriad of ways to create genuine Business friendships. Networking is currently online and we run in-person Networking meetings in various locations to support, collaborate and get to know one another…..because once you know/like/trust…… you can refer!!
Meet virtual colleagues
We meet every Monday for accountability and goal setting. Then follow up on Fridays to check in on progress. This helps keep us focused and supported. We may all be in the same storm, but we are definitely not all in the same boat!
12+ Meetings a month currently
Drop into whichever meetings suit you and fit into your schedule. We have Speed Networking, the regular monthly meetings, the weekly check-ins and ‘Get S**t Done’ co-working days.
Zoom + Coffee = Zoco!
(Pronounced ‘Zoo-Co’!)
Zoco has community and
support at the heart of
its mission.
A new approach to Networking
The business arena will never be the same again. All old rules have had to be re-thought, we need to think and work differently. Some other Networking groups can get a little dull, which is why Zoco Networking was created. To bring a new fresh approach that is a mixture of fun and professional, online and offline, knowledge sharing and supportive.
Who might you meet?
Membership is growing nicely since launching in August 2020, we have a large number of members in different sectors. Here is an example of the kind of people who have joined as members.
What our Members say…
I have been a member of ZoCo from the start and watched it grow into a friendly collaborative space. We all support each other and with consistency in attendance at all the various different meetings, we have got to know and really understand each other’s businesses, refer work and have formed solid collaborations.
During Lockdown meeting up with this friendly group of diverse talents has kept us all sane and we all look forward to the next meeting. Don’t think too long about whether to join, come and visit and you will not be disappointed.

Nick is welcoming, friendly and very helpful! I recently joined ZOCO and I believe it is by far the best networking group I have ever been to. I am proud to be part of the ZOCO family. I met Nick on a 1-2-1 as well and he is a brilliant person, he is very kind and he honestly wants to help you to succeed. If you are not sure about join ZOCO, trust me you don't have anything to lose, you will meet fantastic people who will help you to get more clients and succeed in your career/business and in life.

Over the last 18 months, I have tried various networking groups with mixed success. After careful consideration, I chose to fully commit to Zoco for the following reasons. Nick is a fantastic host. At the beginning of each session, he greets everyone individually and is full of energy, which creates a great buzz in the meeting. The group is full of supportive members. Whenever a member has a promotion, webinar etc. it is well attended by members. The mix of social support and getting new business through referrals is perfect for me. I plan to continue as a Zoco member for the foreseeable future.

Meet The Founder, Nick Blanchard
I’ve attended and hosted many different Networking events and groups over the last 16 years and learnt a lot along the way.
I wanted to do things a bit differently to other Networking groups.
This is somewhere left of the middle whereby the right side are the very formal Networking groups with strict rules, and the left is basically a social club!
Zoco is all about supporting each other - after all that is basically what Networking is. Helping each other's businesses to grow!
The most important thing as well is having FUN whilst doing it right? Otherwise what are we doing this for?
I’m based in Hampton, SW London, but Zoco is set to grow way beyond this with members from all over the UK, and even a few who join us from abroad who work remotely.
Nick, (Head Honcho)
