EVO SIERRA GROUP currently meets fortnightly online and is carefully reintroducing face to face breakfast meetings on The Grand Pier. This group covers North Somerset and the surrounding areas.

• EVO is a Membership Organisation, we encourage guests to visit a group, and then ask that you consider joining the fastest growing network in the UK. Spaces are limited and are subject to approval.

• There are now 12 groups covering the UK with a particular focus on the South West of England and Wales. We now have 2 that are UK-wide (online only).

EVO SIERRA is led by Graham Ash - a highly experienced leader with his last role being the MD of Clarks UK and Europe. Tracy Carter is the Deputy Group Leader - a leadership coach and former MD of Bristol Waste, a £multimillion business. Sian Thomas is the Membership Leader - formerly of Shell and a publican, now Founder of Integrow Sales Solutions. Simon Shuker is the Technical Leader and is principle of an R&D tax reclaim specialist firm.

You can see some great photos and testimonials from Members and guests at an EVO breakfast meeting (above) held at Harvey Nichols in Bristol in October 2021 here.

What To Expect

As a visitor, you will either take part in one of two different meeting formats - depending on which week it is.

• Classic Week: you will have a chance to introduce yourself in the meeting for around a minute, take part in a 1-1 meeting randomly selected, meet and listen to an expert speaker and then participate in a group 'mastermind' meeting for 15 minutes towards the end. This is where a small group break-away and discuss a set question or challenge.

• Mastermind Week: you will have a chance to introduce yourself in the meeting for around a minute, participate in a group 'mastermind' meeting for 15 minutes (with a group feedback round following this), ask the other attendees for an introduction to a business, then take part in a 1-1 meeting.
