Business in brief

Local commercial real estate professional and Henrico citizen Gabe T. Hill recently formed the “The 804 Club,” a group for young professionals 21 to 38 years old. Hill realized that there was a gap in the networking/social business club scene for millennials and created the group to fill the void. It will meet monthly at Richmond Country Club and will feature monthly speakers. Membership is free but by invitation only. The group currently counts 97 members. Local businesses and business owners seeking to hire employees are encouraged to visit and network with members. Local start-up entrepreneur Michael Saxon will speak at the first meeting. Anyone interested in membership, or in attending a meeting, should send a resume and a cover letter explaining his or her interest to gabehill47@gmail.com.
