One of the major strengths of BNI is the wide circle of very different businesses that it brings you into contact with. We have found new customers, new suppliers and new friends through BNI and I would heartily recommend it to any business for whom reliable suppliers and new customer opportunities are important.

On my first visit to BNI Wilmslow I received a very warm welcome. My first impression was of a friendly profesional group of people. I decided to join immediately. Having been a member now for only 6months I have received enough profit business to pay my membership for 6 years. A very good investment! and a lot new friends have been made.

Being active in BNI is like having up to 30 sales people working for you, because your fellow members will be carrying your cards and referring your business to people they meet, without you having to pay them any salaries or commission. BNI provides a structured, supportive, business environment in which local business people can get together to network, learn valuable new marketing skills and develop the strong personal relationships that lead to trust and the consequent generation of significant business for each other. Every week you are given the chance to market yourself and the kind of leads you are looking for.

6 months ago I was purchasing around 10 printer cartridges a month, which equated to £130.00.
I spoke with Tom Kelly of Cartridge World initially who advised that I should purchase a HP3600n Laserjet printer as this would cut down on costs, improve the quality of print and also cure the issue I had which was when producing large jobs my print would start jamming because it couldn’t cope with the capacity.
Tom suggested I speak with Andrew Rosamond of Cara Technology to check out costs of purchasing the laserjet printer.
I spoke with Andrew who confirmed the printer mentioned by Tom would be suitable and referred me to HP to make the purchase, they had deals on at the time. I purchased the printer and also had a refund of £150.00 cash back. This has saved my hundreds of pounds in ink and time and the printer is worth every penny.
I have just purchased 4 new cartridges for Tom and he has therefore reaped the rewards of his recommendation and as for Andrew I am confident that he will in return receive work/leads as a result of the support he has given me.
This is why BNI is so powerful, there is a support network of small business owners that aren’t just concerned in ‘what’s in it for me!’.
Thank you to both Tom and Andrew.
