For an example of successful networking albeit from the 19th and early 20th centuries see the biography of James Cholmeley Russell, the barrister, financier, property developer and Welsh railway entrepreneur. He counted many of the good and the great among his friends and colleagues. Harrow School and Magdalen College Oxford formed a firm foundation but he went on to form some powerful and useful friendships and died in 1912 a very wealthy man. Russell was a key shareholder of the North Wales Narrow Gauge Railways company from which the Welsh Highland Railway Company ultimately emerged and that has now been re-built and extends from Caernarfon to Porthmadog in North Wales. He was involved in property development in Hampshire and also had time to edit a book on the law and married women!
