It transformed my job into a business and gave me a great work life balance. A lot of trades like I was eight years ago network to fill their diaries. Those that stay in BNI make it into a business and it is the best thing I did.

Having been in BNI for nearly 14 years, the figures speak for themselves. The plain fact is that net of VAT, net of disbursements, and net of BNI membership and room fees ...the net fees I receive from BNI pays the salaries of my 1.5 members of staff.

Since being a member of BNI, I have not only gained a network of like minded business people but a group of friends where we all share our successes

As a relatively new member to BNI (castle) I can honestly say my transition into the world of business networking has been faultless. Its the thing I've been looking for, for years without even knowing it. My business has already started to see a positive change through not only the referrals but through the new friends and support network I am now a part of. It is as we all know a big commitment but I would strongly advise anyone in business to take that plunge and reap the rewards of excellent people, knowledge, training and networks to help your business grow.

There is nothing better than face to face, one to one business. BNI has helped me develop my company by introducing me to fellow businesses that require my product, service and expertise. I would recommend any business looking to grow or develop, to visit and see first hand what it can do for you.

I’ve renewed with BNI Terriers because it is a fantastic group and it is part of my famly and I would really miss not being in BNI. The fact we are face to face is fantastic.

It was a hard slog online but BNI really helped us maintain our businesses during lockdown and covid. The reason I joined was for the professional environment where people can really understand each other’s businesses. Being back in the room at 315 Bar, Lepton is a fantastic buzz and we are excited to be networking in person again.

Since I’ve joined it’s been a superb continuous growth of personal development and financial gains. I love the physical meetings now and it’s really harnessing building relationships. I fell really lucky to be in Masters chapter. Long may it continue 😊

I have received invaluable coaching and training informally from BNI members and formally from the organisation in referral marketing techniques and strategies.

I love being part of our amazing network, its like having an amazing extended team to support and help raise awareness of my charity, so integral to my marketing strategy.
