More than 80 people turned out for the latest B2B Breakfast at Sandy Park, which is fast becoming one of Exeter's fastest growing networking opportunities.
Representatives from some of Devon and Cornwall's leading businesses attended the latest event at the rugby club's award-winning ground.
The speakers were Marc Astley (pictured) and Dan Pritchard from marketing and PR firm Astley Media and Keiron Northcott, a trustee of the Chief's charity the Exeter Foundation.
Keiron told the audience about the work of the charity, which raises funds for 20 local charities....
Exeter Chiefs head coach Rob Baxter believes new signing Elvis Taione will offer "something different" to his squad ahead of the 2014/15 season.
The Tongan international is the latest new addition to the playing ranks at Sandy Park having joined from Championship side Jersey.
Baxter has been in the market for a new hooker ever since it was confirmed that Chris Whitehead would be forced to retire with immediate effect following the club's LV= Cup success over Northampton Saints in March.
As always Baxter has studied closely the qualities the powerful 30-year-old can...

The coffers of the Exeter Foundation have again been boosted by almost £2,000 following the success of the charity’s latest Sportsman’s Dinner held at Sandy Park last week (20 March).
Star attraction for the night was former Scotland and British Lions star Doddie Weir, who entertained the audience of nearly 200 people with a number of anecdotes from his playing days, as well as further amusing stories about his life away from the game.
Weir was also not afraid to have the odd joke or two at the expense of some of the audience members, including his former Borders team-mate...
Prop Hoani Tui says Exeter Chiefs’ week off could not have come at a better time as they look to recharge their batteries.
The Sandy Park outfit have lost twice since lifting the LV= Cup a fortnight ago, with Saturday’s 14-13 reverse against Gloucester coming after a 45-15 defeat at Leicester Tigers.
Due to their success in the Anglo-Welsh competition, the Sandy Park players have not had a week off from matches since early August.
Most other teams had a fortnight without a game last month while the Chiefs competed in the knock-out rounds of the LV= Cup. Tui, who has...
Exeter Chiefs head coach Rob Baxter said he was "perplexed" as to why his team were not awarded a penalty try in the final minute of their Aviva Premiership encounter at home to Gloucester.
With Gloucester prop Sila Puafisi already in the sin-bin for a late hit on Chiefs playmaker Gareth Steenson, the visitors were then reduced to 13 men when fellow Tongan Sione Kalamafoni was shown yellow by referee Matt Carley for cynically killing Exeter's driving maul just inches from the line.
Although the Chiefs made the numerical advantage pay in the subsequent play as Don Armand...

Home turf, capacity crowd and the hopes of a rugby-mad region right behind them - it seems Exeter Chiefs have all the ingredients to serve up a real treat in Sunday's LV= Cup final at Sandy Park (1pm).
Standing in the way of silverware for Rob Baxter and his team, however, are Premiership rivals Northampton Saints, themselves no strangers to the big occasion and indeed former winners of the competition in 2010.
Sat at the summit of English rugby's top division, the Saints have certainly been the team that have set the benchmark this season. Jim Mallinder's men - even...
It’s been a while, just under three months if we’re really counting, but Exeter Chiefs rediscovered their winning formula in the Aviva Premiership with this impressive victory over visiting London Irish.
Not since December 21 when Newcastle Falcons were humbled 16-3 at Sandy Park have Devon’s finest tasted success in English rugby’s top tier.
Five consecutive defeats – including a recent hat-trick of losses against the division’s top three – have seen Rob Baxter’s side slowly slip down the pecking order to eighth spot coming into this contest.
