There’s always one who gets us laughing on a Friday morning, and it’s usually Lee! 😂

He was feeling the Halloween vibes for his 60 seconds, complete with a body bag! 🎃👻

BNI is about more than networking. It’s about building relationships, supporting each other and having a few laughs along the way!

55 business people. One packed room. Plenty of opportunities! 🤝

What a turnout for our Visitors' Day last week at Canterbury Golf Club

We enjoyed a fantastic presentation from Chris Wright of Chris Wright Maintenance, showcasing the exceptional quality of his work. If you need a painter and decorator, you know who to call!

Congratulations also to new member Kit Leigh, who picked up the door prize for her brilliant contributions during the week! 👏

🌟 Passport to Success – Completed! 🌟

A little personal achievement this week.

Having joined BNI Canterbury early this year, I’ve now successfully completed my Passport to Success! ✅

I’ll admit, joining a networking group was a little step outside my comfort zone. When you’re busy running your own business, juggling everything that comes with it and trying to find enough hours in the day, adding something else to the diary can feel a bit daunting!

But I’m so glad I did. 💚

One thing I’ve learnt over the years is that no matter how long you’ve been in business, you never stop learning. And sometimes the best advice comes from simply sitting around a table with other business owners who just get it.

I’ve already met some lovely people, had some brilliant conversations and picked up advice that I can take back to VR Sani-Co.

For me, it’s not just about referrals or winning new business - however that’s an added bonus. It’s about building relationships, supporting each other, sharing ideas and hopefully having a few laughs along the way!

Running a business can be hard work, but having good people around you makes such a difference.

Here’s to new friendships, new opportunities and continuing to push myself out of my comfort zone! 🥂

And a big thank you to everyone at BNI Canterbury for making me feel so welcome.

BNI Canterbury are having a visitors day next Friday (October 16th) If you are interested in coming along pop me a message. 🙌🏻

£𝟰,𝟲𝟳𝟯,𝟵𝟲𝟭

That's how much business our chapter passed between its members in the last 12 months.

That's what happens when a group of local business owners meet every week, get to know each other properly, and pass each other real work. That's BNI Canterbury, and we're opening the doors so you can see how it works for yourself.

Join us for a Visitors Day on Friday 16th October at Canterbury Golf Club, doors from 5:30am. Breakfast networking, lots of business people, and a genuine look at how the referrals add up.

Interested? Send us a message and we'll save you a seat.

Another busy meeting at BNI Canterbury last week!

We heard from Darren Dobson of SDP Plumbing and Heating LTD, who told us a little about how he got into the industry and the plumbing and heating services he provides. If you need help with anything plumbing or heating, give Darren a shout!

Alex Sammonds from Spurling Cannon won the door prize, he was thanked for almost £100k in referred business 🤩

Lee Whittington of CTW Cleaning shared a fantastic testimonial for our social media expert Kit Leigh, who helped promote an event for Lee’s Muay Thai Gym, great work guys 💪

We also wrapped up the final meeting with our current leadership team before the new team takes over for October. James Wilford was thanked for all his hard work with a hamper from BNI Kent Head Office, what was in the hamper James?

With the final quarter of the year now here, it’s a great time to make new connections and create new opportunities.

Want to finish the year strongly?
