*UPDATED* Could you do with more referrals? Yes? Then make this one of your new year resolutions!

Hello there & happy new year!

I'm currently forming 2 new weekly BNI (Business Network International) breakfast business networking groups in Bromley and Orpington. Weather permitting, it is anticipated that the meetings will start sometime during January and February 2010. The venues are yet to be confirmed, but it is likely to be at a local golf club and / or hotel. So if you, or any of your business contacts, would like to grow your business through referrals, please feel free to drop me a line or contact me on my number below. There are currently vacancies for many professions.

£10 for breakfast & venue hire. Membership fees apply should you decide to join BNI thereafter.

 

"As the Executive Councillor responsible for supporting business in the London Borough of Bromley, I was delighted to be have been invited to the launch of the BNI Spitfire Chapter.

I know from the personal experience of running my own  business that networking with local businesses is a tried and tested way to help your own business develop.  Smaller businesses tend to obtain their work in or close to the area in which they are located and by personal referrals from customers and business contacts.  It's on these strengths that organisations like BNI can flourish and offer genuine support to their members." Councillor Julian Benington, Portfolio Holder for Renewal and Recreation in the London Borough of Bromley. (Endorsement of BNI sent to John Coupland on 31/12/09).

There are 15,000 BNI members in 625 chapters in the UK & Ireland. 659,066 referrals were passed amongst BNI members during 2009. This equated to over £230 million worth of business being completed!
