How much business are you missing because people cannot find you online or remember your brand offline?

This week, 2 of our Business Services Team delivered two fantastic presentations packed with practical business advice.

Jake from Uniek Digital, a web developer and SEO expert, shared a powerful message. There is no point having a website for your business if nobody sees it. He explained how effective SEO helps businesses improve visibility, attract more visitors, and generate valuable enquiries online.

Strong businesses are built on expertise, trust and relationships, and last week's presentations highlighted exactly why these qualities matter.

🏡 Kerry Santucci from Drake Mortgages shared how she helps individuals and families secure the right mortgage solutions. Kerry has arranged mortgages for members of our group, as well as their family and friends, and the feedback is always excellent. Her knowledge, service and commitment make a real difference.

These presentations also served as a reminder of the strength of our network. Our chapter consists of 47 local businesses from a wide range of industries, yet together we generate almost £3 million of business for one another every year. That level of success comes from building genuine relationships and creating opportunities for fellow members.

Our meetings are local, focused and held early in the morning, allowing you to grow your network and your business without disrupting your working day.

Nearly £3 million in business passed this year. That is what happens when 47 local businesses meet every single week with one goal. Help each other grow.

At BNI Gravesend, every Thursday at Cyclopark, members build relationships, share opportunities, and actively look for referrals and partnerships for each other. So far this year, that has averaged close to £60,000 of business per member.

Every meeting gives members the chance to introduce their business, explain who they want to meet, and build trust with other local business owners. We also hear from two featured members each week with a deeper 5-minute presentation.

Last week we heard from two brilliant businesses.

Jim Jordan from Kent Business Consultancy shared how he helps businesses across Kent become more profitable through better plans, people, and processes. When Jim speaks, business owners listen.

Nearly £3 million in business passed this year. That is the power of local businesses backing each other through trusted relationships.

At BNI Gravesend, members support each other because they know, like, and trust the quality of work within the room. Every referral helps a local business grow and strengthens our group.

What does it mean to have a local charity at the heart of your network? ❤️🏃‍♂️🤝

At BNI Gravesend, it means real impact.

Jemma has been part of our group for over 5 years, supporting fundraising for elllenor Hospice, just up the road from where we meet at Cyclopark. Her work supports local families through some of the toughest moments in life.

Tony from Your New Floor, a long-standing member, saw that impact first-hand. This weekend, his team member Chris ran the Brighton Marathon for ellenor and raised over £1,000 for the cause.

This is what strong business communities look like. People supporting people, both in business and beyond.
