🤝 Celebrating two membership renewals!

We’re delighted that Mike and Anthony have both renewed their membership of our Ashford BNI chapter this week.

Mike has been a member since 2009 and, during that time, fellow members have thanked him for an incredible £1,187,403 of business that he has helped generate for them.

Mike renewed because of the “great referrals, partnerships and opportunities to collaborate—as well as the friends I’ve made along the way.”

Anthony joined in 2020 and has already helped generate £105,040 of business for other members. As a financial adviser, he says renewing makes financial sense because the business he receives outweighs the cost of membership. He also values the accountability BNI provides, which makes it different from other networking groups.

Together, Mike and Anthony have helped generate more than £1.29 million of business for their fellow members.

These figures are not what Mike and Anthony have earned themselves—they represent the business they have helped create for other people. It’s a powerful example of one of BNI’s core values: Givers Gain®. When we support others to succeed, we all grow together.

Thank you both for your continued commitment. We’re so pleased you have chosen to remain part of our warm, collaborative and community-minded chapter.

Would you like to build meaningful relationships, create new opportunities and grow your business alongside people who genuinely want to help? Come and visit our Ashford BNI chapter.

🎤 This week’s feature presentation: Anthony Bodle

This week, Anthony Bodle of Collett Wealth Management took to the floor for his ten-minute feature presentation.

Anthony has recently renewed his membership and has now been part of our Ashford BNI chapter for six years—a fantastic commitment to the group.

He gave us an overview of the services he provides, including:

💷 Investments
📊 Pensions
🛡️ Protection
🏠 Mortgages

Anthony focused particularly on pension consolidation and explained the potential benefits of seeking professional financial advice.

Our weekly feature presentations give members the opportunity to explain their businesses in greater depth, answer questions and help the rest of the chapter understand how we can support their growth through valuable introductions and referrals.

Thank you, Anthony, for an informative presentation—and congratulations on renewing your membership!

Ten minutes in the spotlight: Croweaters

Each week, one member of our Ashford BNI chapter has ten minutes to take us deeper into their business—sharing what they do, who they help and the introductions they would most value.

It’s a great opportunity to:

✨ Help fellow members understand your business
✨ Build confidence and polish your presentation skills
✨ Answer questions and start valuable conversations
✨ Enable the chapter to make better, more relevant referrals

Last week, the spotlight was on Rob from Croweaters, who introduced us to the organisation’s exciting rebrand: Rebrand. Rebuild. Relaunch.

Croweaters’ work spans EAP services, therapy and research, now brought to life through five distinctive areas:

🔭 The Observatory
🕊️ The Sanctuary
🔗 The Integration
📚 The Institute
🗝️ The Reliquary

Curious? We certainly were.

Discover more and get in touch with Rob at croweaters.com.

🏆 Celebrating our Community Champion, Jordan King

We were delighted to see our chapter charity present Jordan King of King Roofing with the Caldecott Community Champion Award, recognising his remarkable support for The Caldecott Foundation.

Jordan is the kind of person who never asks, “What’s in it for me?” He simply asks, “What do you need?”

From giving his time and supporting projects across Caldecott’s grounds to donating prizes, helping at fundraising events and stepping in whenever a problem needs solving, Jordan consistently shows what true community spirit looks like.

He will also captain Caldecott FC this September and take on the London Marathon in April 2027, raising vital funds for the children and young people supported by the charity.

Jordan’s generosity reflects what our Ashford BNI chapter is all about: building strong businesses while supporting one another and making a positive difference in our community.

Congratulations, Jordan—and thank you for everything you do. 👏
