We're delighted that Pete Sims, Director of BlueRockIT, has renewed his membership with Better Networking Hubs. 🎉

Pete has been part of our Accrington Hub since the group began and has become a valued member of the community, building relationships, supporting fellow members, and helping create the positive, professional, yet fun atmosphere we're proud of.

One of the best things about networking is seeing relationships grow over time. Membership renewals are a wonderful reminder of the trust, support, and genuine connections that develop when local businesses regularly come together.

Thank you for your continued support, Pete. We look forward to another year of conversations, connections, referrals, and plenty of laughs along the way.

🟡 Supportive networking
🟡 Genuine relationships
🟡 Referrals built through trust

Do we need to ditch the pitch?

Well… not exactly.

Because here’s the thing:
60 second introductions at networking events aren’t the problem.

Poorly delivered sales pitches are.

At Better Networking Hubs, we believe traditional networking still works brilliantly when it’s done well.

Your 60 seconds shouldn’t feel like:
❌ Hard selling
❌ Pressure to buy
❌ Listing everything you sell

Instead, it should help people understand:
🟡 Who you help
🟡 What problems you solve
🟡 What opportunities to listen out for
🟡 How they can support or refer you

That’s why we often say:
Tell, don’t sell.

Because networking works best when people know you, trust you, and remember you.

At Better Networking Hubs, we’re proud to be a networking group.

Just one built around genuine relationships, supportive members, referrals, and real business conversations.

Warning: You may not relate to this unless you're a travel agent!

Tina the Travel Agent worked from home each day,
Planning dream adventures and helping clients away.
But working solo sometimes felt a little quiet too,
So she joined a networking group to meet a business crew.
Now Tina gets referrals from people who know her well,
Enjoys real face-to-face chats and stories members tell.
She’s built trusted relationships and grown her business too,
Because good networking connects the right people to you.

Don't worry, Tina isn't real, which means we still have a place left for a travel agent to join our Accrington Better Networking Hub.

Has this seat got your name on it?

At Better Networking Hubs, we operate a one seat per sector approach because we believe networking works best when members support one another rather than compete.

That means when you join, you become the go-to person for your profession within the group.

🟡 Build trusted relationships
🟡 Raise your visibility
🟡 Create referral opportunities
🟡 Become known for what you do

Our networking groups in Accrington and Rossendale focus on genuine connections, supportive relationships, and business growth through trust.

Over the coming weeks, we’ll be sharing some of the business sectors currently available across our groups.

Could one of those seats be yours?

Ever been pitch slapped at a networking event?

You know the kind.

You’ve barely said hello before someone launches straight into:

🔵 What they sell
🔵 Why you need it
🔵 Why it’s the best
🔵 And why you should buy it now

That’s not networking.

That’s selling at people who didn’t ask to be sold to.

At Better Networking Hubs, we do things differently.

We believe networking should be about:

🟡 Real conversations
🟡 Genuine introductions
🟡 Supportive relationships
🟡 Referrals built through trust

Tell, not sell.

Because when people properly understand what you do, who you help, and what problems you solve, they’re far more likely to remember, support, and recommend you.

No hard selling.

No awkward pressure.

Just friendly, structured networking that helps local business owners build relationships that lead somewhere.

If you’re based in or near Accrington or Rossendale, and you’re fed up with networking that feels more like a sales ambush, we’d love to welcome you to visit.

One of the things our members often say is:

“Ten minutes just isn’t enough.”

That’s exactly why Better Networking Hubs introduced our Fifteen Minute Focus™ sessions.

No sell. Just tell.

These sessions give members more time to help other businesses understand:

🔵 What they do
🔵 Who they help
🔵 What problems they solve
🔵 And how to recognise opportunities to refer them

And there’s no pressure to stand up and “perform”.

Members can choose what suits them best:

🟡 Present
🟡 Q&A
🟡 Focus Session

Because not everybody enjoys formal presentations, and that’s absolutely okay.

At Better Networking Hubs, people are there to support and help each other, not judge.

In this session, Dean Kelly, from Dean Kelly Roofing Specialists shared before-and-after photos of roofing projects and talked members through the work he does.

Simple.
Useful.
Effective.

That’s what good networking should be.

If you’re based in Accrington or Rossendale and would like to experience supportive, structured networking, we’d love to welcome you to visit.

Another fantastic renewal at Better Networking Hubs. 🎉

A huge thank you to Richard Singleton from WhY-us? Marketing for renewing his membership at our Accrington Business Networking Group.

Richard specialises in websites and CRM systems, helping businesses improve their online presence, streamline processes, and work more efficiently.

Richard recently said renewing his membership was “a no brainer” because he’s gained more from this group than any other networking he’s ever done.

That kind of feedback means a lot and reflects exactly what Better Networking Hubs is all about:

🟡 Genuine relationships
🟡 Trusted introductions
🟡 Supportive business connections
🟡 Long-term growth through networking done properly

We’re delighted Richard continues to be part of the Better Networking Hubs community and look forward to supporting his business growth for another year.

Fed up with networking events that aren’t what you expected?

You’re definitely not the only one.

A lot of business owners have experienced networking that felt:
🔵 Too salesy
🔵 Uncomfortable
🔵 Full of pressure
🔵 More about pitching than relationships

That’s exactly why Better Networking Hubs was created.

We believe networking should do what it says on the tin.

🟡 Welcoming people
🟡 Genuine business relationships
🟡 Real opportunities
🟡 Supportive networking that actually works

No awkward pressure.
No cliques.
No pretending to be something we’re not.

Just structured, friendly networking for local business owners who want to grow through genuine connections.

If you’re based in Accrington or Rossendale and have been thinking about trying networking again, we’d love to welcome you along.

This is Dean Kelly from Dean Kelly Roofing Specialists .

Dean gets most of his business through referrals.

Why?

Because people know him.
Trust him.
And confidently recommend him.

That’s the power of good networking and doing a good job.

Not hard selling.
Not awkward pitching.
Not relying on 'one-off' custom

Just consistently building genuine relationships with the right people over time.

At Better Networking Hubs, that’s exactly what we aim to create for local business owners.

Supportive networking that leads to trusted connections, opportunities, and referrals.

So if you want more referral-based business…

Be like Dean 😊
