Future Alliance, the Black Country's Future Professional networking group, hosted a successful Go Karting event on Tuesday 19th July at the Full Throttle Raceway in Stourbridge.

Jamie De Souza, Joint Chair of Future Alliance and Dispute Resolution Solicitor at Higgs and Sons said "With half of the 2011 F1 races completed we thought it was about time the Black Country's professional elite took part in a little race of their own.  

"The Go-Karting event was fun, fast and furious.  Upon arrival, guests were divided into pairs and took part in a fearsome endurance race.  

"The race was a great success with no injuries although it was, as was expected, a little competitive!  After the race there was an opportunity for everyone to network with likeminded professional peers with a slice of pizza and glass of wine."

Jamie went on to say: "Future Alliance provides a range of events to suit professionals in the early stages of their career.  All events have been designed to build future business relationships, to support members' professional development and most importantly to give people the opportunity to get to know those in the local professional market."
