It transformed my job into a business and gave me a great work life balance. A lot of trades like I was six 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.

Joining BNI Royal was an easy decision to make. When you join a chapter you have 30+ companies working with you to get business the right way. As time goes on you begin to understand each others businesses and referring business becomes really easy.

I have been a member of BNI Royal for nearly 7 years and it has helped me grow my business from 1 person to 3, and helped me double my turnover. We get the referrals we ask for, but we also get a fantastic network of members who are willing to help, support and assist each other. The opportunities that can be gained can be life changing and I wouldn't not want to be a part of BNI and BNI Royal in particular.

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 😊

The law of proximity, you become the people you surround yourself with so why not meet weekly with other committed business owners.

I can’t praise BNI highly enough for the impact my involvement has had on my business - not only in terms of the referrals that are passed to me but also in terms of support, development opportunities and friendship through some really tough times. The things I was less keen on when I started (the weekly meetings, the structured approach, the accountability) are now the reasons I love it! I have just renewed for the 4th year and I’m still enjoying the whole experience. If you’re thinking about seeing what it’s about then don’t hesitate - find a chapter that fits with you (we’re all different) and give it a try!
