🤝 46 years of experience, better connections and a new chapter for BNI Prime!
What a way to kick off the final quarter of the year at BNI Prime Norwest!
Our Feature Presenter, Frank Teager from Access Corporate Finance, took us into the world of asset finance, backed by an incredible 46 years in the industry.
Frank shared his journey, the changes he’s witnessed over the decades and, most importantly, the philosophy that has remained at the heart of his business: he works for his clients, not the lenders.
With access to multiple lenders, Frank explained how he looks beyond a one-size-fits-all solution to find finance that genuinely suits each client’s circumstances. From equipment and vehicle finance to novated leasing, chattel mortgages and commercial lending, the room got a much better understanding of just how many ways Frank can help.
But what stood out wasn’t only his experience, it was the genuine care and passion he still has for getting the right outcome for the person sitting in front of him. ❤️
🎓 We also welcomed Ankit Gandhi from Jim’s Building Inspections into his new role as our Education Coordinator, delivering his first education piece of the new BNI year!
His topic? Becoming Master Connectors. 🔗
Ankit reminded us that great networking isn’t about collecting business cards. It’s about intentionally getting to know people, using our one-to-ones to understand their businesses and becoming better at recognising opportunities to connect and refer one another.
And he left us with a challenge: choose someone in the room and book that next one-to-one. Simple, but that’s where relationships begin.
🏆 Golden Mic: Congratulations to John Dale from GlobileNet, who delivered a fantastic 60-second pitch by clearly communicating the solution and transformation he creates for his clients.
🎁 Lucky Door Prize: Congratulations to Aboorva Sundar from Sun Legal for the connections and networking happening beyond the formal meeting.
We also want to give a huge THANK YOU to our outgoing Leadership Team. ❤️ These roles are volunteered, and there’s an enormous amount of work that happens both inside the meeting and behind the scenes. Thank you for the time, energy and commitment you’ve given to making BNI Prime a stronger community.
And to our new Leadership Team, welcome! We’re excited to see where you take us next. 🙌
For business owners across Norwest, Bella Vista, Castle Hill, Baulkham Hills and the wider Hills District, this is one of the real benefits of building a strong local network.
You don’t have to personally know everything about finance, property, law, marketing, trades or every other industry, but when you build relationships with trusted local professionals, you can confidently connect your clients, friends and contacts with people you know will look after them.
That’s what we’re building every Wednesday at BNI Prime: connection, community, knowledge and trust, which ultimately leads to better referrals and stronger local businesses.
