The Best of Croydon Testimonials

You guys are so great. Thanks.
I know you are going to be mega successful and two of the main reasons are that you listen and care.
I appreciate all the help you give me and I listen to everything you say.
Thanks again

You are turning it into a really good organisation and I would love to be part of it.

Just like to say how fantastic it was to be at The Best Of Event last night - really was a laugh and Nicky and I look forward to getting to know everyone better. And thanks to Maud for rescuing our certificate! What was that you were saying about being organised!???

Went to the best of event yesterday & brought a visitor both of us left saying what a truly great evening meeting lovely people eating good food whilst doing networking, sure beats the hell out cold calling for business!!!!

That was a wonderful evening networking. Thoroughly enjoyed the great venue, great ideas, great people and great food. Thanks

was a really great event last nite so well done the best of :)

Was lovely seeing lots of small business owners at the best of event last night!! Such a lively event, great catching up with some old faces and meeting some fantastic new contacts!! And the food... Yum!

If ever I win the lottery I would employ you for your darn good job at communicating and enthusiasm, …Go Girl!....these are hard times to keep things moving but you are doing a grand job.

Just wanted to drop a quick email

To say that we think the Mini looks great.

We are all really impressed with it.

Thanks

WOW - from nil to 35 FB likes thanks to Maud pushing me - think what she could do as a personal trainer!!

Thank you for the twitter lead.
I'm flat out at present and making the most of my busiest time of year, quite a few enquires from BestOf so all good there.

I have always believed that people just need simple, honest recommendations when choosing a local service, glossy and clever advertisements mean very little these days. That is why we joined up with thebestof last November. January is not usually our favourite
month for business but thanks to thebestof we have had the busiest January ever! Roll on February!

We all need help attracting business but what work TBO does!

I have been trading as a Domestic Electrical contractor for just over Five years and have tried many forms of advertising, some work and some dont. The Best Of Bromley is one that defiantly works.

I am receiving regular enquiries from the site and because this is targeted advertising a high percentage of those enquiries result in work. The whole process of signing up and creating an advert was so easy; Kevin and Pamela had me up and running the next day.

On the day the ad first went up on the site I had three inquiries, I will continue to advertise with the The Best of Bromley and would urge any one who wants to grow their business to do the same.

..........great company, great cctv systems - roy really cares about his clients and really knows his stuff! I am delighted with his work....

We commissioned the best of Bromley to help with the marketing of our business. We met them on a Friday and we were up and running on their website the following Monday and received our first enquiry late Tuesay afternoon.

I would recommend the best of Bromley to any local business.

Kevin and Pamela have provided us with some fantastic new clients and contacts to date. We cannot reccomend them highly enough. If you have a business in Bromley and do not yet advertise on the Best of then your missing out!! The Best of networking events are also very well organised and have provided us with leads for new business which networking events are all about!

Over the years many hard sell companies have promised me the earth and never delivered..... Best of Bromley live up to their name... they offered me a friendly, helpful, understandable and very affordable service which in the short time that i've been with them has brought clients to my hypnotherapy practice...i recommend Kevin and his company very highly. Forget the rest they are the best!

A local builder has just asked me to write a sales letter for him. He found me on TBOBromley when he Googled 'copywriter in Bromley'. Not many people know that what I do is called copywriting, so there aren't many searches and I never expect many calls - this was a nice surprise! Thank you

Maud’s “Best of Croydon” goes so much further than all the other services in this category. This is due in no small part to the drive and personality of Maud herself. She goes the extra mile to ensure that all the value added services such as introductions, social networking, and especially business networking events, really make the most of membership.

Great evening with the best of Croydon, thanks @maudalleyne and team.

Maud has managed to get me numerous clients through her extensive list of contacts and her approach to marketing solutions is most definitely very local and very vocal. Her recent quote for some work on my business was not only excellent value, but professional delivered and stood out amongst the other quotes so expect to hear more from Safety is the Key!

just had coffee with the lovely @coachingbyjen - thanks @maudalleyne for the introduction xx

The video is having an amazing effect of my business!

Well connected, super friendly and stupendously helpful Twitter-er! If anyone can, Maud can!

I was drawn to 'best of' by the passion Maud displayed for her business and my wife's business has benefited greatly from membership with "best of" too. Great event this evening, I will be very interested to hear about your events for the future.

Great event today, very interesting Twitter presentation, and lovely food at Croydon College.

Excellent couple of hours - great location and @markshaw most informative.

Fantastic event. Really want to tweet. It was so clear and resolved fear.

it was lovely to meet with u today, thanks for your kind words. @MarkShaw was amazing wasnt he!

Thanks to @maudalleyne @markshaw and @croydoncollege for a great lunchtime Twitter talk and networking. Sorry I had to run. Catch up soon, A

Wonderful event, very informative and friendly. Having been to many similar seminar I can honestly say that up to now this is one of the best. No wonder it has been organised by thebestof.

Re. Mark Shaw "Good content for people that don't know how to use Twitter.

Fabulous food, venue (Chef's Restaurant @ Croydon College) + "Twitter Talk" (from Mark Shaw) (less than 140 characters)

Great event. Learned lots :) Will RT

Really informative & useful seminar - learnt loads... have been to several events on social media & this was certainly the best.

Maud very successfully champions the very best of Croydon businesses and is absolutely fantastic at bringing them together by organising dynamic social networking events in the borough. She takes her work seriously, has a great sense of humour and is a pleasure to know. Highly Recommended!

Magnifique, that's what thebestof Croydon is. Amazing business run by an extraordinary woman who is full of life and energy & is great at putting people together. TBOC runs wonderful events which always help people meet great business contact. If you want to succeed with TBOC you need to proceed.

just finished networking at another great Best of Croydon event. Well done Maud! x renewed old friendships and made some new ones.

Thanks Maud for a fantastic enjoyable event in Croydon. Lovely cheese and wine AND I made some new contacts and felt very welcome. Oh and an extra big thank you for the bottle of wine I won in the business card draw. What more could anyone want from a networking evening ?! Brilliant.

I just had a meeting with Access Storage and they are very impressed with the service they are receiving from the Best of Croydon.

I have known Maud for almost 2 years now through Best of Croydon and the service she and the “Best of” provides is second to known. Maud and her assistant Rupert are always looking to be very proactive and at ways of introducing business and their website is brilliant for passing good quality leads. I have no hesitation at recommending this excellent service. Rupert Honywood, Honywood Solutions 07912 600999.

Great evening on Monday with some good contacts.



I was really impressed with Access Storage as had no idea about their facilities and services on offer prior to Monday night.

A superb event; in surprisingly superb surroundings!

Well organised, well attended, and an atmosphere more than you could hope for in any event. I met some interesting people and tasted some good vin and enjoyed the fromage, merci beaucoup.

I now know that Abbey Business Centres certainly raised its profile and to have a public endorsement at the end of my free elevator pitch was just a great feeling. Thank you for that. I may well have interested a couple of contacts in our meeting rooms and one other for Office Suites to suit Disaster Recovery with our short term flexible solutions

Good Luck Access - hope you fill those spaces quickly and for a long time..

I wish you continued successes. And a big thank you back.

Just to say thank you for putting me on the members offers. I had an email yesterday at 9.50, just after I got my email to say it was live to book in a carpet clean!
I just love the Best Of. When can we get together regarding Best of Redhill/Reigate?
So glad you took the franchise!!!

I really enjoyed the networking last night. It was such a nice change to have a sit down meal and get to really know people.

what a great little restaurant! I've often walked passed but never gone in because the outside doesn't look too inviting but what a surprise! The food was good and reasonably priced, the atmosphere was friendly and warm, the little nooks, crannies and balconies downstairs was a real wow! factor. I will definitely be going again!

A lovely evening! An informal and friendly way to network without any pressure! Great venue at the “Little Bay” as it was cosy, food was great and the entertainment was fun too! I made some useful contacts and would recommend all “best of “ members to attend these networking events – they are great for business as well as most enjoyable.

I really enjoyed the evening - fantastic value!! Really liked the venue, great food and as it was quite intimate it was easy to mingle with other people and I met some people that I had not met previously at any other network meetings so that was good as well. Many thanks

Maud if great at networking and runs the Best of Croydon with the intention of connecting people to grow their business. I would recommend Maud and the Best of Croydon as a great place to advertise your business.
