The Executives Association of Great Britain (EAGB) was founded in 1929 and has established itself over many years as one of the foremost business networking organisations in the UK for business of all sizes. Its roots trace back to 1916 when the Executives Association was formed in San Francisco.

Under the motto "Creating Business", we meet monthly in London for lunch and networking at the Dorchester Hotel, when we have a top class speaker and where members can entertain clients and seek out business opportunities. This year will see the introduction of more events, including more casual evening receptions and social activities.

The Executives Association of Great Britain is a member of The International Executives Association under the Transatlantic division. Within the International Executives Association there are some 110 Executives Associations in the USA, Canada, United Kingdom Switzerland and South Africa representing over 5000 corporate members.

Our regional associations also meet at the highest quality venues:

• Solent EAGB at the Chewton Glen Hotel
• Midlands EAGB at the Council House, Birmingham
• Thames Valley EAGB at Oakley Court, Maidenhead
• Western EAGB at the Priory Hotel, Bath

EAGB's Origins

In 1929, while on a business trip to America, Harry Stiles - the Managing Director of Messrs L C Smith & Corona Typewriters Ltd - was introduced to an Executives Association. These had started some 13 years earlier, typically for breakfast meetings, to do business or pass leads to potential business. Harry brought this idea back with him, and told his business friends about it. On 12th March 1930, the following, with Harry Stiles, formed a company called "the Executives Association of Great Britain".
