It’s not every Friday that we get to meet twice in one day!

We’ve had a fantastic social evening, spending quality time with our families, enjoying great food, and sharing plenty of laughs together.

BNI is about so much more than our weekly meetings. It’s about building genuine relationships, supporting one another, and creating connections that can last a lifetime. Nights like these remind us that business grows through trust, friendship, and community.

A big thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make it such an enjoyable evening. Looking forward to the next one!

Excellent meeting this morning! 🙌

Kicked off with a superb educational slot from James Ford, talking about the “Yellow Pages moment” the world is currently going through, and what businesses need to do to adapt, evolve and avoid being left behind. We all remember Blockbuster, right? 👀

A huge congratulations to Mr Greg Stanworth, who took top spot this week for TYFTB with an incredible £4,178! 🔥

Some brilliant social events coming up too, proving once again that we’re a networking group that works hard, supports each other and knows how to have a good time along the way! 🍻

Great networking is not just about referrals. It is about trust, relationships and getting to know the people behind the businesses.

What a brilliant in-person BNI Thames Maidenhead meeting today at Braywick Leisure Centre. 🙌

We had a fantastic 4-minute presentation from Wendy Perry of Face2Face HR, giving us a real snapshot of her story, her family, and the “why” behind the work she does supporting businesses with practical, people-focused HR advice.

We were also lucky to hear from the ever-wonderful Naomi Riches MBE, whose 10-minute presentation was inspiring, insightful and full of perspective on resilience, mindset and human potential.

This is what makes a strong local business community: people showing up, supporting each other and building relationships that lead to real opportunities.

We are always looking for great local businesses to join this fantastic chapter. We would especially love to meet bookkeepers, solicitors, website designers and architects.

🏆 BNI Thames Maidenhead takes the win!

Brilliant evening at the BNI Berkshire Karting Event at Absolutely Together Karting in last night.

There was strong competition from across the region, plenty of friendly rivalry, and some very serious racing faces on display. But in the end, confidence, driving ability and consistency won out on the day and BNI Thames Maidenhead came away with the trophy. 🏁

A great reminder that BNI is not just about weekly meetings. It is about building stronger relationships, creating trust, and getting to know other local business owners in a more relaxed and enjoyable way.

Huge thank you to everyone who organised the event and to all the teams who took part.

Last night a number of our members had the privilege of attending an incredible talk by Naomi Riches MBE PLY - Hon DUniv (BNU) — and honestly, it was one of the most inspiring talks I’ve experienced.
Naomi’s story of resilience, determination and mindset is nothing short of remarkable. Hearing firsthand how she has overcome challenges, stayed focused, and achieved success at the highest level was both powerful and thought-provoking.
What really stood out was the real-world application — the lessons around motivation, accountability, and pushing through adversity are just as relevant in business as they are in sport.
If you or your business are looking for a keynote speaker who will genuinely inspire, challenge thinking, and leave a lasting impact on your team — I would highly recommend Naomi.
An unforgettable evening with some brilliant takeaways 🙌
