Another great face-to-face meeting last week, with the Village Hotel hosting us for the third time.

It was great to welcome new member Dan Carter from Utilities Warehouse to the chapter, and we look forward to supporting him as part of the network.

We also had an excellent presentation from Tony of Clearway, who spoke about the importance of protecting people, property and assets.

Kevin delivered a really valuable education slot on how to get the most out of networking, sharing practical tips on building stronger connections and making referrals count.

During the Network Leaders section, we celebrated members who passed the most referrals, generated the most business and also recognised our Networker of the Month — Tony Gibbons for his recent networking efforts.

Abby delivered the Vice President’s report, highlighting the progress of the chapter over the years. Since launching BNI Synergy, members have now passed over £8 million in business between one another — a huge milestone for the group.

And of course, a big thank you to the Village Hotel for another lovely breakfast to finish the morning.
