A 10-minute presentation helps everyone in the understand how they may use your services, but more importantly how they will refer you to their contacts. In May we heard from;

Eric Churet from Estate Planners spoke about LPA’s, Wills and Trusts. He had a good way of remembering the difference, an LPA is for the living (what happens if someone needs to make decisions on your behalf) and a Will is for the dead (what happens when you have gone). He also touched on what happens if you’re in a business partnership and one partner becomes ill, incapacitated or dies, and his new mediation service.

Christos Polyviou announced to our group the launch of his new business called Real Estate. Watch this space to see how the business grows and evolves, but the service offering is the same as he has always offered as a property consultant, so you can continue to use him for sales, lettings and property management. He is also a domestic energy assessor.

James Chipping from Hearnden Associates who spoke about how his role supports clients with financial planning, including investments, pensions and in some more bespoke areas such as later life care. James addresses complex financial matters and advises on the most tax-efficient ways of saving and planning for the future.

Next week we will hear from Seval Guryel from & Co. If you would like to learn more and meet our other members, why not visit us any Wednesday morning at 6.30 am – Shirley Park Golf Course – you can book through the link in bio

Our isn’t all about business. Sometimes it’s about how we can support each other in different ways.

Recently our president, and expert lift engineer Paul Johnston from Arrival Lifts, ran a ‘London Marathon but my way’ to raise funds in support of our Charity member in the room Chris Tuck from SOB - Survivors Of ABuse.

Paul ran 26.2 miles and raised £680.00.

As you can see, he was very happy with his medal.

Well done, Paul. Keep up the running.

A 10-minute presentation helps everyone in our understand how they may use your services, but more importantly how they will refer you to their contacts. We recently heard from;

Avinash Sachdev from Gentle Dental Care Group who spoke about his popular services, such as Invisalign and dental implants, and how he helps people who are lacking in confidence, due to their poor dentistry, become confident again and smile properly, sometimes for the first time in years. He also spoke about where his practices are based and how he has a special offer for BNI members to take advantage of.

Mike Taylor from @1840 Lawn Care spoke about his many years studying lawncare and his degree in turfgrass science. He often gets asked ‘what’s the difference between you and a gardener’, the years of studying and the degree explains that! He also spoke about the services he offers and how he knows just the right combination of lawncare treatments to get the perfect green striped lawn everyone desires.

Paul Johnston from Lifts spoke about the packages and services that they offer to clients, to suit budgets and requirements, such as maintenance, calls outs to breakdowns, modernisation of lift interiors and controls. He showed us some very fancy pictures, including a snakeskin lift interior. If your lift is noisy, vibrating or shuddering call Paul, maybe just some light lubrication is required.

If you would like to hear more, we have a Visitor’s Day on the 27th May, you can book here: https://bnicompasscroydon.co.uk/visit-us/ or through the link in bio.
