Arena has launched the Arena Networking Navigator, a new programme designed to equip rising professionals in the foodservice and hospitality sector with the essential skills to build meaningful, career-defining connections. Powered by William Murray PR and Marketing and Performance Works International, the six-session hybrid course blends expert-led online learning with face-to-face networking at two of Arena’s flagship events.
The curriculum features high-impact sessions including crafting an elevator pitch, joining and leaving conversations and navigating live events. Guest speakers include industry heavyweights Anita Murray, chief executive officer of William Murray, and Andrew Allen, food entrepreneur and entrepreneur in residence at Bidfood.
'Addresses a growing skills gap'
Lorraine Wood, director of Arena, said: “Born from a recognised industry need, the Navigator addresses a growing skills gap among early-career professionals, many of whom entered the sector during or after Covid, missing out on formative in-person networking experiences. The programme is designed to provide practical tools, build confidence and fast-track participants’ ability to form relationships that drive commercial value and professional growth.”
