“Unity is followed by victory”
Publilus Syrus, poet
Equites Club project was conceived and implemented as a joint product of the three main participants.
TFB-Club
English language has a notion of “home city”. It means “city for your soul”, that is city where you feel comfortably and at home. But “soul” is really something that you miss in an enormous megalopolis like Moscow. Neither successful business nor financial substance secures protection from excessive negative sides of life.
TFB-Club presents an attempt to build “home city” here and now – the world where you can live, work, rest, make purchases and meet your friends in the atmosphere of comfort. You do not have to prove your status to anybody here, since all “citizen” in this “city” are respectful and attentive towards each other. Because they have acquired the knowledge of real life values.
TFB-Club was set by Johnny Manglani (Uomo Collezioni), Sergey Shapoval (Ermak, Rakhat Lukum and Matrioshka restaurants), and Levon Israelian (Trade Finance Bank). The first Club meeting took place in 2004 and was followed by regular meetings since then. Non-commercial partnership TFB-Club was set in March 2006 and united successful Russian and foreign top managers.
