At one of our most energising Hot Stories networking events, we heard from Ricke Williams, founder of Cadre Rocket, a movement for entrepreneurs who are tired of surface-level networking and ready for authentic, long-term business relationships.

Ricke began with a truth many of us know: “In business networking, no one can hear you scream.” For so many, traditional networking is awkward, disconnected, and forgettable.
That’s why Ricke launched Cadre Rocket — to create something entirely different. A cadre is a group of specialists, connected not just by industry, but by a shared willingness to train, support, and elevate one another.
With a background in retail and 17 years in professional banking (including 14,000+ interviews!), Ricke knows how to help people grow when they’re in the right environment.
Through Cadre Rocket, members experience:
A true peer advisory group
Supportive coaching-style relationships
Events across Cambridge, Peterborough, and online
From Shelford Rugby Club to Pinnacle House and Brewers Fayre, Cadre Rocket meets in real venues — and online — where people can laugh, learn, and level up together.
If you’re looking for more than just a business card swap, and want to feel seen, supported, and challenged to grow — you have Cadre potential.
