An amazing networking group all about building long term relationships to help each other and our community

17/08/2026

We can only imagine what the other walkers at Heaton Park thought yesterday… 👀

A large group of adults, a few kids, a dog, all wandering around together chatting away.

“Family reunion?”

“Very complicated blended family?”

“Some sort of organised walking cult?” 😂

Nope. Just BNI Pioneers out in the wild.

Although, thinking about it, “weird blended family” might not be that far off.

We do business together, we support each other, we celebrate each other’s wins and apparently now, we take the kids and dogs out together too.

Business networking doesn’t always have to happen over a table.

Sometimes it looks like this ❤️

Do you know a Probate Solicitor looking for regular work?
BNI Pioneers is actively looking to connect with a Probate Solicitor to join us.

Our members are regularly passing business and referrals to professionals in this industry, and we would love to build a relationship with a trusted probate specialist that our members can confidently recommend to their clients and contacts.

It could be a fantastic opportunity to build long-term relationships with a group of local business owners who are actively looking to refer business to one another.

Come along to our Friday meeting and meet the Pioneers.

Pioneers getting to know each other, one 121 at a time! 🤝

These snapshots capture some of the fantastic 121s in the month of July.

While our weekly chapter meetings are online, the connections we build are very real.

Even as an online chapter, we make the time to meet face-to-face to learn about each other's businesses, build trust, and discover how we can support one another through quality referrals.

It's one of the many reasons BNI Pioneers is the number 1 online chapter for 2 years in a row. Strong relationships create strong businesses! 💙

The Pioneers were out in force today, supporting our very own Peter Gray as he welcomed members to his first event as Executive Director for Manchester North BNI 👏

It was great to see so many members from across the area coming together to hear Peter's vision, what's ahead for Manchester North, and to explore one key question:

"How can we create MORE for our members?"

The discussions, ideas, and energy in the room showed just how much can be achieved when people come together with a shared purpose.

Congratulations, Pete, on a brilliant event. We're excited to see what's next for Manchester North and look forward to being part of the journey.

The real winners? Simon Belt and Charlie Womersley who won the red hats... are they brave enough to wear one to the next chapter meeting! 🤣

"Consistent referrals are valuable. Consistent support is priceless."

Meet Jawad Bhatti from Spark, who shares how recently joining BNI Pioneers has made a real difference to both his business and his personal growth.

Since joining, Spark has enjoyed a steady flow of high-quality prospects, helping them build a strong and consistent sales pipeline for their holistic wellbeing services.

Beyond the business opportunities, Jawad talks about how the chapter has helped him develop skills in an area he previously found challenging; business development. With the encouragement, accountability, and support of fellow members, he's grown in confidence and never feels like he's building his business alone.

His story is a great reminder that BNI is about more than referrals, it's about being part of a supportive community that helps you and your business thrive.

Watch Jawad share his journey below :-)

This is what BNI Pioneers is all about 👏

When a client needed to secure £85,000 in just 10 days to avoid losing their dream home, fellow BNI Pioneers member Kamlesh Rajput FCCA knew exactly who to call.

A referral to Darren Leigh led to a same-day meeting with the client, reassurance that a solution was possible, and a clear plan to help them meet a very tight deadline.

This testimonial from Kamlesh at Sterling Finance speaks for itself and is a brilliant example of the power of trusted referrals and the strength of the relationships built within BNI Pioneers. One member recognised their client's urgent need, another stepped in without hesitation, and together they helped make a real difference.

Congratulations to both of you on this fantastic outcome and thank you for living the BNI philosophy of Givers Gain every day.
