Business Networking (South Leicestershire) Testimonials

A very genuine group of people that together make a sound mentor team that really delivers good referals, sound business support and advice. I have the upmost respect for all the members and the last year and a half that I have been a member of the group has been invaluable to my business and my own personal growth. I can't recommend enough.

This not-for-profit business networking group is fabulous at so many levels - friendly, inclusive, supportive and not expensive to be a member. The group does considerable business for its members but it also provides professional support and access to a wide range of expertise within the group. Thoroughly recommend it to any business. If there is 'chair' free for your business then come along and see for yourself!

BNSL is simply the best business networking group that I have ever been to - bar none! I've been a member now for over 3 years, have worked with most of the other members in the group and can thoroughly recommend every single one of them. I enjoy getting up at 6am every Thursday to meet with group at 7 and that in itself is testimony to the power and value of this group.

I have attended many breatfast networking groups as a guest but I have found this group to be the mosr friendly, welcoming and positive one yet - thank you.

Directly and indirectly, because of the nature of networking, I believe that I can attribute at least 80% of my businesses work to the efforts of the BN(SL) members!

BN(SL) is a totally professional, not for profit, organisation that encourages the positive promotion of all its members. The support provided is the best around - recommended.

A member for over two years now and I have not looked back. BNSL provides a low pressure, supportive and friendly environment to develop strong businesses. The relationships that you build with local business owners lead to real quality leads. At BNSL you can trust every member to deliver what they aim to provide.

It's not always 'what you know' in business, it's also 'who you know'. Through the network at BN(SL) you can get introduced to people that you wouldn't necessarily meet through the daily activities of your business. It is an excellent way to grow your business and I highly recommend it.

I really enjoy the meetings at BN(SL) and have done now for over two years! Everyone is so friendly, professional and very approachable. I have received considerable business both from the group and would highly recommend it as the best local business networking group for Hinckley businesses.

What a friendly and supportive business networking group. All the members are so keen to promote each other's business.

Prgress Windows has been a proud member of BN(SL) now for over 8 months and in that time we have received a great deal of business through the group. Will continue our membership for a long time and highly recommend it.

I have found the networking club to be a great benefit because, whilst there is no pressure in any way, great relationships are built and so business naturally comes out of that. Starting each Thursday morning at the club with some laughs is also a great way to set you up for the day ahead.

My business has been with BNSL for over a year now and I think it is an excellent group for business networking and development. I would have no hesitation at all in recommending any of the business members within the group.

As a photographer and videographer I was looking for new opportunities to network and I had previously tried several other networking groups. I found some of them to be very strict and formal, which put me off them. I was invited to BNSL as a guest and I loved it. I found the informality and fun atmosphere to be a breath of fresh air. They don't make you feel guilty if you can't produce any leads each week as they understand that business happens when business happens and that you can't force it to happen. However, in the short time I have been a member (about two months), I have seen a lot of business happening in the room, so BNSL's informal approach clearly works. I highly recommend it.

I joined the club four months ago in a capacity as a wealth manager. I have found the weekly meetings very informative from an aspect of learning more about other business's and also how local business's are moving forward in the current climate. The business mix of members is very good and extremely friendly. I would have no hesitation in recommending the club and its members to any other business possibly looking to join an organisation to provide an additional source of quality referrals.

If you're a local business person like me who might be looking to forge relationships with other like minded local businesses then I'd certainly recommend visiting Business Networking (South Leicestershire) at the Mill-on-the-Soar and sampling what networking has to offer. I've been a member for almost a year now and as someone who was new to networking and didn't initially know what to fully expect I am more than happy with what I found. The group operates in a relaxed but business like way which makes each visit a pleasure. My business has grown not only from the leads and opportunities passed to me by the groups members but I've also benefited from their experience and business knowledge.

Up until last year I networked extensively but became disenchanted with the leads. About three months ago I was invited to the Mill on the Soar. I now enjoy my networking breakfast and look forward to each Thursday. What is more there is no pressure to give leads but plenty of good quality business is generated. Don't take my word for it though, join us for a free breakfast and find out for yourself. Peter Clare (Tax Consultant): Mr Tax - www.mrtax.co.uk

I have been a member of this Business Networking group since Dec 2008 and have found the group to be very friendly. During this time I have made some good friends within the group and the referrals that I have received have always been of a very high standard. There is no pressure to bring a referral to the group each week which makes the whole experience far more relaxing and the breakfast is quite good to. Roy Lee Plumbing & Heating

I have been a member of this great networking group for 2 months now and in this short time I have been made to feel very welcome, receiving support and friendship from all the members. The quality of both leads and help from the members to each other is second to none. Lesley Jarrad (Franchise Consultant): MatchPoint - the insiders approach to finding a franchise.

Joined this business networking group now since May 2008. The group is friendly, inclusive and supportive. Excellent business referrals are passed weekly but without pressure to do so, which means that the referrals are good and likely to lead to new business. In addition, many of the members in related trades/industries have formed strategic partnerships to support one another. Highly recommend the group, even better and more focussed now that it is an independent networking group and the breakfast it pretty good too! Geoff Waters - Bestofhinckley.

A business networking opportunity which I'm very pleased to be associated with. The business networking club at the Mill on the Soar offers a focussed and enjoyable environment in which to build business relationships, which have certainly helped to grow my organisation. Membership of the group is available at a price which makes it affordable even to the smaller business but the group is professional enough to attract delegates from national and multi-national organisations at the same time. A perfect blend.
