BNI Shoreline is a Bournemouth Networking Group, part of the World's leading business networking organisation. We meet weekly on Tuesday mornings at 10am.

Last year UK BNI members reported income in excess of £521 million from BNI referrals. If you would like to see if BNI could be a great way to get new clients for your business the best way to find out is to visit a meeting! The first meeting of the month takes place in person at the Collingwood Hotel in Bournemouth and our other weekly meetings currently take place on Zoom. It is currently free to visit. Message us for more information or to book your visit. We can't wait to welcome you!

💷 £865,036.
That’s how much business BNI Shoreline members have passed over the last 12 months.

Yep… we checked the number too. 👀
Broken down across the chapter, that works out at:

📈 £32,661 annually per member
📈 £2,721 monthly per member
📈 2594% return on investment

Those are numbers we’re incredibly proud of, but the real story is how they happen.

Shoreline members get to know each other’s businesses properly. They build trust, spot opportunities and confidently recommend each other to customers, friends, colleagues and other businesses.

That’s the difference between simply meeting other business owners and being part of a referral networking group that actively helps you grow.

If you’ve been looking for business networking in Bournemouth that delivers more than a stack of business cards, come and see Shoreline in action.

📆 Tuesdays at 9:30 AM
📍 Carlton Hotel, East Overcliff, Grove Rd, Bournemouth BH1 3DN

August’s Notable Networker
This month, the spotlight belongs to Marta Holman, recognised for her Outstanding Sustained Contribution to BNI Shoreline! 👏

And there’s plenty to celebrate:

⭐ TYFTB: £11,918
⭐ Referrals: 39
⭐ 1-2-1s: 33
⭐ Attendance: 100%
⭐ CEUs: 17
⭐ Testimonials: 1

33 one-to-ones and 39 referrals certainly don’t happen by sitting quietly in the corner! 😅

Marta’s 100% attendance is just one part of the story. She consistently puts time into getting to know fellow members, learning and finding opportunities to support the businesses around her.

That commitment is exactly what our referral networking group is built on.

Massive congratulations, Marta. A very well-deserved ⭐ from the whole Shoreline team!

📆 Tuesdays at 9:30 AM
📍 Carlton Hotel, East Overcliff, Grove Rd, Bournemouth BH1 3DN

August’s Networking Leaders
August may be the holiday season, but apparently nobody told the Shoreline lot… 😅

This month’s top spots go to:

🏆 Most 1-2-1s: Tania Howie
🏆 Most Referrals: George Spencer
🏆 Most TYFTB: George Spencer
🏆 Most Visitors: Andy Hover, Jamie Kinvig, Paul Meakin & James Scott

And yes, George has managed to get his name on the leaderboard twice this month… we’ll give everyone else a chance to catch up over September. 👀

Behind the friendly competition is what BNI Shoreline does best, members making introductions, getting to know each other’s businesses and actively creating opportunities for one another.

It’s one of the reasons our Bournemouth business networking community continues to grow.

Think you could give George a run for his money? Come and join us for a Tuesday meeting. 😉

📆 Tuesdays at 9:30 AM
📍 Carlton Hotel, East Overcliff, Grove Rd, Bournemouth BH1 3DN

🎤 September’s Speaker Line-Up is Here!

One of the best ways to refer someone confidently is to really understand what they do. That’s exactly why our weekly member presentations are such an important part of our BNI meetings.

And September's line up has plenty to learn from 👇

📅 8th September
James Dean - Fusion Telecoms

📅 15th September
George Spencer - InSync Property Group

📅 22nd September
David Richmond-Coggan - RNLI East Dorset Fundraising

📅 29th September
Shane Cooper - Precision Plumbing

Four very different areas, four opportunities to learn something new, and probably a fair bit of Shoreline banter squeezed in between.

Our Tuesday meetings give local business owners the opportunity to showcase their expertise while helping the rest of the chapter understand exactly who they want to be introduced to.
