ELITE CONNECTION & ULTIMATE ADVENTURE
"A remarkably important platform"
– Sir Andrew Strauss
Monumental Values
Connection
The essence of the human experience, a fundamental need for all men.
Confidentiality
Ensuring a safe space. Your privacy is our priority.
Accountability
Reinforcing the collective pursuit of excellence.
Who We Are
Monumental is a private network for high-net-worth men.
We exist to bring together leaders that despite their accomplishments, recognise that true growth comes from the right circle.
Monumental is built around two distinct, high-value offerings:
The Network: A dynamic, high-accountability network for driven men in the United Kingdom. Members meet regularly through weekly pod meetings, monthly masterminds and exclusive in-person gatherings.
The Legacy: A year-long rite of passage that results in profound personal growth. From wild international adventures, to private retreats on some of Britain's most exclusive estates, to private audiences with World leading figures, each journey is crafted to challenge and transform you.
Monumental Ambassadors
Kenton Cool
World Leading High Altitude Climber & Adventurer
Kenton Cool is one of the world’s leading high-altitude climbers and avid adventurers. He has climbed Mount Everest 18 times along with many other mountain peaks around the globe, including the ‘seven summits’ – the highest mountains on each of the seven traditional continents. He is also the only Brit to ski down two 8,000m peaks.
Kenton is an active member of The Monumental Network and Ambassador.
“Monumental is unlike anything else out there for men in leadership, there’s no other space that combines this level of depth, connection, and challenge. It’s filling a crucial gap, and I’ve seen firsthand how transformative it is. This isn’t just another network; it’s a movement, and I’m proud to support it.”
Alistair Elliott
Former Senior Partner & Chairman of Knight Frank | NED & Chairman
“Leadership has always been tough. There is no doubt that even for those to whom it comes naturally there are moments of doubt.
In today’s world where leadership, and the breadth of responsibility, is more complex than ever, having an outlet such as Monumental has never been more relevant.
Pete’s perspective, coupled with his balanced drive and determination, has led him to build a Network perfectly suited to those individuals who are generally expected to deal with issues rather than having any of their own.
As such, I am delighted to be an investor in and Ambassador of Monumental.”
"The hardest part is taking the jump and joining. For me, this is a decision I will never regret."

"From the outside, I had it all - career success, a great family, financial stability. But inside, I felt isolated, knowing I was leaning too much on my wife and family which caused yet more friction in my life. Monumental gave me a space where I could finally be honest, be challenged, and be supported. It has changed my life, my relationships, and how I show up in the world."
