I just want to thank you for a very enjoyable event last night, I thoroughly enjoyed it and met some very interesting new people as well as some people that I had met previously that made it really worthwhile. I realise this takes a lot of organising, so thank you for all your efforts.

Dear Nick, Thank you so very much for such a pleasurable evening, it really was a treat and I definitely recieved the impression that a great time was had by all. I know that many people now have a revised idea of travel agents in general and specifically of Crusader Travel. I spoke to many and was myself enlightened and educated in regards to different businesses in the area and further a field, really well done and thanks again.

Thank you for such an enjoyable event last night on the river cruise. The boat was perfect for networking whist watching the beautiful scenery go past. I met so many lovely and interesting people who were all having a fun time. It was one of, if not the, best networking events I’ve been to. Congratulations!

Already I have had commissions! One person had googled ‘photographers in Richmond’ and found me via thebestof and also one of the existing business members commissioned me to do a shoot for his wife of their 3 teenage boys for her 50th next month. He met me at The Petersham Hotel at the first thebestof meeting that I ever went to!!!!

My company is a huge fan of the Best Of Richmond. They have been a definite attribute to the business since we joined, it's one of the best decisions we have made. The seminars are informative, intelligent, worthwhile and more importantly fun! Personally, I have found that the general network evenings have been great, everyone is very welcoming and I have made some fantastic contacts to add to my network. If you're debating whether to join or attend an event, debate no longer, as Nike says, 'Just Do It' !

In August 2010, said about The Best of Richmond

I just wanted to let you know it was a great event and venue on Tuesday. It was my first Networking with The Best of event and I thought it was run very well and I particularly liked the way it was broken up by you guys getting on the mics and I met loads of interesting people and made some very good contacts. The only disappointment was there wasn’t enough time to speak to everyone. I will definitely be booking up for your next event. Well done to all of you and thank you.

I owe a great deal to Nick and Jacqui for supporting The Marble Hill Pub. Their relaxed approach underpins a strong business acumen and professionalism that I have never witnessed from high profile consultants. Very impressive indeed.

In July 2010, said about The Best of Richmond

I've been a member of Best of Richmond for some time and the quality and number of enquiries that we receive is exceptional but I had not ventured into attending a Best of Richmond networking event until recently. I must say I am so pleased that I did. The warm genuine greeting I received when I arrived at The Depot Waterfront Brasserie in Barnes from not only the Best of Richmond guys and girls but from other businesses was great, the free flowing wine, fruit juice and general niceness of everyone made me feel like I was chatting to new friends at a party rather than "working". I made 4 new contacts for our cleaning company and won the business card draw, so I'll get to go back to The Depot for a meal for free! I would highly recommend attending a Best of Richmond event especially if you are new to networking and nervous of starting a conversation with strangers. Liz of Busy Lizzie Cleaning

I have been with the best of richmond for about 6 months. I have been really impressed with Nick and his team. They really care about their members and go to great lengths to ensure that their membership is working for them. Every event I have attended has always been well supported and have been held at great venues. As a customer service and sales professional I am passionate about how businesses treat their clients, I have to say that Nick and his team offer exceptional service. Thank you all so much for helping my business to grow in the local area.

Joining the Best of Richmond in Spring 2010 was a fantastic move for our company. We have been really impressed by the professional marketing which Best of Richmond has to offer and most importantly we have had numerous new business leads and new work secured. I cannot recommend them highly enough. Victoria Fuller, Director, Colour and Craft Ltd

Since dealing with thebestof Richmond, I have found them to be very proactive and enthusiastic and above all else professional in their approach to business. They bring energy and are packed full of fresh ideas which is great. The networking events they put on are both enjoyable and worthwhile and there is a rich mix of people at them.

In May 2010, said about The Best of Richmond

When I joined BNI one of the first one-to-one meetings I had was with you. You explained how having a web presence was essential in today's world and how being with Best of Richmond could really help me achieve my goals. Well, anyone who knows me knows i'm a bit of a technophobe and it takes a while for me to catch up with "new" technology. So it was some time before Busy Lizzie joined Best of Richmond and really the reason was because you offered a 50,000 drop leaflet which appealed to me as it's a well tried marketing tool, we gained enquiries and instructions all as I expected. However, little did I realise the effect the Best of Richmond website would have on my business; we recieve between 3 and 12 enquiries per week, and 90% of those go on to become clients, which is exceptional. Please pass on my thanks to your team, they provided excellent advice and help and thank you Nick for being on hand whenever I needed your expert guidance. I will not hesitate to continue to recommend you to local businesses.

The testimonial is for Best of Richmond. I attended the Bingham Hotel last week for a B of R event and it was really lovely. The venue was fantastic, I met lots of lovely people and re-connected with some that I haven't seen for a while and actually managed to give someone a referral whilst I was there. PS The food was great too!
