Member Survey, October 2004

Results of the Annual Euronet London Member Survey, October 2004

We had a hunch, but now we know exactly: Euronet London members are typically just over 30 years old, think of themselves as cosmopolitan, work overwhelmingly in professional industries and join Euronet mostly to meet like-minded international professionals.

These results, revealed in our annual member survey conducted in October 2004, paint a picture of engaging, dynamic and outward-looking individuals. The Board of Euronet London is extremely pleased to have seen a total of 112 Euronet London members participate in our first annual Euronet London Member Survey.

Such a large number of responses allow us to gain insight into our members’ views and to taylor our events and online offerings further to their interests. Some survey highlights are:

• The average age of survey participants is 33 years, our total membership represents more than 55 different nationalities.
• Half of respondents have been living in London for between 3 and 10 years, with a further 11% living here since their childhood. On average, they expect to stay in London for a further 2 to 5 years.
• 82% work in professional industries (financial services, consulting, media, telecoms, legal), 13.5% for the public sector (government agencies, NGOs, academia), 2.7% in post-graduate studies
• Members cover all parts of Greater London, with 39% of respondents working in Central London (of which nearly three-quarters in EC rather than WC) but only 6% living there. Postcode area W is the most popular neighbourhood to live in, followed by SW, E and NW.

• Just under half of our members joined Euronet more than 1 year ago.
• They is no preference for any single type of event we offer, the attraction rather seems to lie in a good mix of parties, walks, dinners and debates, picnics as well as cultural events.
• Only 57% say they have found friends through Euronet, compared to 84% who say they would like to make friends via our activities, suggesting a need for better networking opportunities.
• Two-thirds of participants have introduced friends or colleagues to our activities.
• 49% have read a lot of the non-event content on our website or used some of it, particularly the Living in London advice section and our listings of the top 25 Major London Events.

• Members see us as predominantly “friendly” (84%), but they would like us to grow in size and spread out to other European cities.
• They see London as a “cosmopolitan” or “international” city (95%).
• 95% of participants consider themselves to be a “cosmopolitan” person (74% “yes, absolutely”, 22% “a little bit”).
• Some 56% of participants want to keep Euronet London membership free of charge.

Many thanks to the large number of members participating in this survey. We promise to listen to this feedback and follow up on the myriad of views, recommendations and ideas suggested by you.
