The team at thebestof bury do a great job raising the profile of their members and promoting them in the town. They always give my business Authorized Access 100% attention, keeping up to date with whats happening, collecting and delivered testimonial cards and generally keeping us on our toes to market our business.

The door drop leaflet produced by the best of Bury has been an invaluable peice of advertising material for my business. In the first drop I did I received 7 jobs in the 1st 10 days - amazing!
What else can I say other than try it for yourself, it's worked for me and I'll be in them for the foreseable future.

Thanks to Debi & Kathryn for another great networking event a few weeks ago. Had an enjoyable evening meeting some old & some new faces, made a few promising contacts and won a fabulous raffle prize!

Looking forward to the next event.

I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Debi Fellone and her team at The Best of Bury. I cannot recommend them highly enough in terms of growing & developing your business. Mine is a relatively new business and I'm sure like many businesses I have made a number of costly mistakes in terms of advertising and promoting my services. Through Debi I have been able to break into the difficult commercial interiors market, in securing a contract to complete a full
refurbish of The Red Hall Hotel in Ramsbottom. We are currently putting together a proposal for refurbishment of a second 36
bedroomed hotel - both of thesewere direct referrals from The Best of Bury. I have additionally benefitted from meeting up with numerous other businesses through networking events, a number of other referrals and started working with some excellent new contractors and
suppliers all through The Best of Bury.The Best of Bury website has provided an excellent forum for
clients we have worked with to recommend Tic Toc Interiors and this in itself has generated enquiries for new business from people viewing the site.
The services provided by The Best of Bury are second to none and the membership has been worth every penny!

Hello Debi
Just a quick email to thank you for a fantastic evening on Thursday. We made one or two good contacts, not necessarily gaining any funerals but good contacts non the less, which we shall be following up. Adrian Curran - Timeless Funeral Services

Thank you and your team for all the support that you have given during the launch of Prontaprint Bury's new pop up banner business.
We have had great success with the emails you have sent informing members of our exhibition offer of a 2 metre 'Pop Up Banner' and 250 x A5 colour flyers all for £79.99 with a further 10% off to all Best Of Bury Members .
This has now run for 2 months and we have surpassed our original targets on our launch 2 months ago, In actual fact we have extended the offer this month as the response from members has proven to be tremendous.
It was great to have 3 companies last week using our banners at your exhibition at the Longfield Suite.
We have to date supplied 8 members which otherwise probably would not have contacted us if not for your emails and support so its a very big 'Thank You' from myself and the rest of the team at Prontaprint Bury
To this effect we are more than happy for you to use this letter as a Testimonial and please feel free to pass our details on to any future or existing members who would like to know the support offered by Best Of Bury.
Kindest Regards

Hello Kathryn,
I use business networking extensively to build new business and so I come across all types of Networking Companies. To say that Best of Bury stands head and shoulders above the rest is only telling it how it is.
The format is excellent and relaxing which get the best out of everyone and the added bonus is your personality and attention to detail. I can heartily recommend Best of Bury Peter Foster ( Chemdry )

Hi Debi & Kathryn

Thank you for giving me the opportunity to have a stall to showcase MT Distribution. I have to say it far exceeded my expectations and
I was greatly impressed with the variety of businesses that attended. It was really well organised and very easy to get around and talk to as many or few as I wanted to, everybody seemed eager to share and give advice, or their opinions on products or the general state of the economy.
For my part I picked up some very useful leads with some very firm contacts for leaflet distribution which was very encouraging, I await the outcome this coming week. It also gave me a platform for Durham Landscapes and T.W.P. with a lot of people taking leaflets.
I will definitely be attending future events as I feel they are a must to develop any business. Networking in my opinion breeds success, and what a great platform a night at the Longfield Suite with The Best of Bury was.
Many thanks Debi.
Dave Durham, MT Distribution.

Thank you to Debi and the team for another well organised and enjoyable networking event at the Longfield Suite. The optional speed networking was particularly useful - there is probably no better way to be introduced to so many new businesses in such a short time.

As ever your attention to detail always ensures your events run smoothly and deliver what you promise.

I have attended many networking events but found that The Best of Bury event at the Longfield Suite at Prestwich was by far the most vibrant, well supported I have attended and had a great buzz about it. It had a great atmosphere and I am really looking forward to attending the next one.

I just wanted to say a big thank you to you and your team, who, as always organised a wonderful evening last
night. I come to these events on my own which can sometimes be a little intimidating but as always there was a
warm welcome, plenty of worthwhile contacts made and a chance to meet local businesses both new and existing
within The Best of Bury. It is always encouraging to talk to local businesses, share experiences and know that
there is a support network there for us all. It is great to see 'The Best of' growing and for the events to be a
bigger and better success each time. Thanks once again. Donna Walker, Just because Florist

Once again, you seem to have got together the best of the entrepreneurs and business-focused people from around
the area. There was a definite buzz around the whole meeting with people networking, sharing ideas and
follow up a variety of business opportunities. These are the people that are going to lead the area
through the current economic climate and beyond due to their flair and enthusiasm.

Hi Debi, Kathryn & the team
As always, a great event – I haven’t missed one since you started. It’s always good to see so many old
friends and business contacts and every time to meet some new ones. I’ve already marked my diary for 7th May!
Very best wishes. Stephen Harris - Stephen Harris & Co Accountants

Last night has already become a success with a handful of appointments, one order, a re-introduction to a company
that wants to place continuing orders and many potential follow-ups.
Very well organized by a professional organization

Hi Debi, it was great to meet you and your team. Although it was a last minute decision to exhibit my colleague
Jason and I both enjoyed the spirit and atmosphere of the exhibition and perhaps more importantly made some excellent
prospective business contacts. Thanks again.

Both being new to this type of event we were both apprehensive, there was nothing to worry about. We both
enjoyed the evening, we found it very interesting networking with the many companies that attended. The networking was made very easy, it had a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. The event was very well planned and organised which resulted in an excellent 1st time experience.

Well done to Debi and Kathryn for providing us with another fantastic networking event at the Bury Ary Gallery (Yes I know, there is an Art Gallery in Bury). I am finding that these local newtorking events arranged by the Best of Bury are a great way to find new business. I always get to meet new businesses as well as seeing some of the usual suspects (you know who you are :-). This is great because the businesses that I meet regularly at the Best of Bury networkign events are beginning to know a lot more about my business and are more confident to pass me referrals as well as doing businesses with me. I was also able to meet a number of new suppliers that were recommended to me, so I have more confidence to approach these businesses as I know they do a good job. I have been looking for one of these suppliers of 3 months and I met them within 15 minutes of the networking event. If you havent been to the Best of Bury Networking Event yet you shouldnʼt miss the next one. Highly recommended.

Thank you to Debi, Kathryn and Callie for such an interesting evening at gigg lane, the event was a real eye-opener. I was unsure whether these sort of networking events would work for my business but after spending a bit of time chatting to other people at the event I have generated some new contacts with other tradesmen as well as meeting other organizers of networking events that could become very useful.
Thank you once again.

I very much enjoyed this, my first Best of Bury networking event, and was very interested to see the wide range of businesses you attracted.

I was also very pleased to see charities involved as I love to help ʼgood causesʼ.

Further comments will soon be posted on my blog @ http://PerfectlyWrite.spaces.live.com.

What another fantastic event. Well done to Debi and the team for working so hard to put on what has to be the best networking event yet. I was able to speak with business I have wanted to speak to for quite some time but didnʼt have the contacts to do so until now. I have meetings set up with new prospective clients and was also able to catch up with people I havent seen for some time. Iʼm really looking forward to the next event. What a great way to find new local business.

I have been to 2 Best of Bury networking events and both were fantastic. Well run, well attended, great venues and the hosts, Debbie and Kathryn ran a tight ship, but a fun evening too. Canʼt wait for the next one!
