2025 has been a year of meaningful networking and collaboration, and there’s nowhere more engaged in networking than the Midlands.
Through our partnership with networking group, PropertyFace2Face (PF2F), OneSearch proudly sponsored and co-hosted five vibrant Curry Club lunch events that brought property and construction professionals together in Leicester, Nottingham, and Derby. These gatherings weren’t just about exchanging business cards – they were about building relationships, sharing ideas, and creating opportunities.
Celebrating Five Fantastic Events
This year, we joined forces with PF2F for five unique events, each with its own flavour and energy:
7 February – Leicester Comedy Curry Club, MemSaab Restaurant A lively lunch of laughter with professional comedian, Arthur Smith and networking that sets the tone for the year ahead.
9 May – Derby Curry Club, Nicco Restaurant A spring meet-up which sparked conversations and new collaborations over a curry.
21 August – A Slice of Summer Social, Nicco Restaurant Derby’s property and construction professionals celebrated in the sun, enjoying delicious Indian canapés, Prosecco and live Ibiza-style music in August.
19 September – Nottingham Curry Club, MemSaab Restaurant An engaging event with speed networking that brought together like-minded Notts property and construction professionals.
9 October – High Chai & Chatter, Passan’s Restaurant, Nottingham The premiere High Chai & Chatter event took place in October, featuring a Nottingham-themed quiz and a delicious Indian-inspired take on Afternoon Tea.
Each event had its own highlights, but all shared one common theme: meaningful connections that create new business opportunities.
Claire Slade, Business Development Manager at OneSearch, said: “It’s been incredible to see these Curry Club events bring people together. Each one has sparked new conversations and opportunities – and that’s what networking is all about.”
Sasha Stewart, Co-Founder, Property Face2Face added: “Partnering with OneSearch this year has been a fantastic experience. Together, we’ve created spaces where property and construction professionals can connect, collaborate, and thrive. We can’t wait to continue this journey in 2026.”

Last night, the iconic Jam House in Birmingham was abuzz with excitement as OneSearch and Ladies of Law co-hosted a memorable networking event in celebration of International Women’s Day 2025.
The evening, which also commemorated the one-year anniversary of the partnership between OneSearch and Ladies of Law, was a resounding success, bringing together an incredible group of professionals to honour the remarkable achievements of women in the legal industry.
Claire Slade, one of the organisers of the event, said: “The evening was a true celebration of the strength, resilience, and achievements of women in the legal industry. To see the attendees making such valuable connections with peers at all stages of their careers was fantastic. We hope everyone left feeling left feeling inspired and empowered!”
One of the highlights of the evening was an inspiring talk from Alice Kinder, who spoke to the attendees about her personal journey and professional achievements, as well as the importance of proactivity and seizing opportunities, self-determination in shaping one’s career and life, and the need for the legal profession to evolve with the world, promoting diversity and inclusion.
Ella Watts, founder of Ladies of Law said after the event: “It was a wonderful evening. You could see the connections being made through networking, lots of people came on their own which was lovely to see!”
We at OneSearch are grateful to everyone who attended and made this event such a success. It was a magical evening, and we look forward to many more opportunities to celebrate and support the incredible women in our community. Here’s to many more years of partnership and celebration!
Let us leave you with this section from Alice Kinder’s talk:
“This year’s theme for International Women’s Day, Accelerate Action, is a powerful reminder that progress doesn’t happen by accident. It happens when we work together to push forward, open doors for others, and create space for those coming up behind us. As an employment lawyer, I see the workplace changing every day, but there is so much more to be done. Progress requires intention. It requires us to champion fairness, advocate for inclusion, and stand firm in the face of inequality.“

Introducing the Landmark Climate Change Report: Helping property professionals, property investors and businesses to understand how climate change could impact a property.
It is highly important to start reporting on climate change and the numbers can prove it:
2022 was officially the warmest year on record for the UK (Source: BBC)
Large-scale action in all sectors of the economy will be required, including tackling emissions generated by the building stock, which accounts for 31% of our national emissions. (Souce: Gov.uk)

The Landmark Climate Change Report is a desktop report, designed to enable property professionals to understand how climate change could impact a given residential or commercial property. Unlike other reports in the market, it benefits from understanding the concerns of both:
The report is property specific, based on a UPRN, and doesn’t stop with providing just data; delivered in an intuitive format Landmark Climate Change Report gives property professionals the ability to inform clients with advice and recommendations relating to climate change.
Who is this report for?
The Landmark Climate Change Report is for real estate lawyers and residential conveyancers¿ who want to provide best practice due diligence and inform their clients on future climate change risks
The report gives the ability to inform on short, medium and long-term physical and transitional climate-related risks for a specific property with advice and recommendations if appropriate, delivered in an intuitive format unlike current reports in the market which provide unsupported data and little explanation in every environmental report, regardless of requirements.
