This week at BNI Enterprise we celebrated commitment, education, and real business value.

Congratulations to Ivan Atanasov from North East Plumbing & Heat and Christian Green from Green Nexus, on completing the Passport to Success Programme.

The Passport to Success is BNI’s structured onboarding programme designed to help new members maximise their membership. It ensures members understand how referral marketing works, how to present effectively, how to build strategic 1-2-1 relationships, and most importantly, how to generate and receive quality business through the “Givers Gain” philosophy. Completing the programme shows real commitment to the chapter and to growing their businesses professionally.

We were also treated to an informative and highly practical feature presentation from Natasha Khan of Utility Warehouse.

Natasha explained how households can reduce overheads by consolidating utilities, including energy, broadband and mobile into one group service. With rising cost of living affecting all of us so, reviewing utilities is one of the simplest ways to save money without changing operational output. A very timely and valuable presentation.

BNI Enterprise continues to thrive because members are committed to learning, supporting one another, and actively looking for opportunities to pass business.

If you’d like to see how referral marketing can help grow your business — and meet a proactive, supportive group of local professionals — join us for a Thursday morning visit.

This week at BNI Enterprise, Teesside we had two standout moments worth highlighting.

Firstly, an excellent feature presentation from Advanced Vehicle Leasing, delivered by Jonathan Featham.

Jonathan broke down how AVL supports businesses with smart vehicle funding, fleet solutions and sourcing in what continues to be a changing and sometimes unpredictable market. Clear advice, transparent communication and strong supplier relationships are exactly what business owners need when making vehicle decisions and AVL consistently delivers that. https://avluk.co.uk

Secondly, a quick reminder of something we’re extremely proud of.

Last year, BNI Enterprise Teesside won Chapter of the Year in the Durham & Tees Valley region for Best Member Retention.

That award wasn’t luck it reflected the strength of our culture.

High retention in BNI tells you:

• Members are winning business
• Relationships are strong
• Trust is genuine
• The environment is supportive and accountable

People don’t renew year after year unless it works.

If you’re serious about referral marketing and want to see how a high-performing chapter operates, message me for an invitation to visit us on a Thursday morning at Teesside Airport.

Grow with the right people.

This week at BNI Enterprise, we watched an impressive and highly informative feature presentation from Franco Pileci of Alpha Six Fire Consultancy.

Franco Pileci took us through the technical complexities behind the design and construction of compliant fire doors from core composition and intumescent seals to hinges, closers and certification standards. A fire door is not simply a door; it is a life-saving fire-resisting system.

When installed correctly and inspected periodically by an accredited professional, it can contain both fire and toxic smoke providing occupants with critical, life-saving time to escape safely.

We were also supported by our Education Coordinator, Chris Doughty of A & R Protection Specialists, who advises on personal protection insurance to help business owners and families safeguard their financial future.

BNI Enterprise Prop Day got off to a great start.

Our recent Prop Day meeting really delivered, with A&E Training LTD stealing the show. Lee Whitworth’s prosthetic training doll became the centrepiece of the room and a powerful reminder of how immersive, hands-on training can genuinely save lives.

Every now and again, we like to mix things up at BNI Enterprise and this week members were invited to bring along a prop from their business. Each prop helped tell an engaging story — not just about what they do, but how they make a real difference for their clients.

We were also treated to an informative feature presentation from D & D Painting and Decorating, delivered by Magdalena Dabrowska, who shared how attention to detail and reliability underpin their reputation.

We also learned from David John Paton of Aspray Darling, who explained how Aspray supports both domestic and commercial property owners with insurance claims. By acting on behalf of the policyholder, Aspray helps achieve better outcomes for customers—at no additional cost—while removing much of the stress and complexity from the claims process.
