What Our Members Say

“Being a member of Furness BNI, we have received several referrals and some of those have turned into firm orders for work.
Participating in the meetings every week has given us a great chance to tell the other members what areas of work we are looking to be introduced to from their network contacts. Not to mention the opportunity to get to know people who can provide us with services, having taken advantage of advertising with CT Furness and CT Ulverston. On top of all that we are continuously picking up useful tips and facts from the meetings for business and life”

“Having been a member of BNI for nearly 5 years it has been a key factor in continuous growth and customer focused service for my company at a low financial and time investment”.
Graham Minhinick
Gas Water Heating Limited

“i joined bni last year, having previously had my membership blocked by another business in advertising. that made me even more determined to join when the catagory became vacant! since joining ive met lots of new businesses through bni and i have definitely got my money back from joining, but i also hope i have been able to refer lots of new work too! the principle of “givers gain” is really important to me. our social events and visitor meetings are great fun and its well worth a visit to see if this networking could work for your business”.
Helen Penny
Best of Barrow and Furness

“BNI has given us a great opportunity to increase our business with good quality and trusted referrals. It has also introduced us to a number of other quality businesses who we are able to refer with confidence. The structure of the meetings never impacts on our working day and I would thoroughly recommend it to anybody who is serious about their business”.

“BNI offered me the opportunity to meet a core of business people who help me promote my business while in turn I promote theirs. It is a pleasure to work alongside professional like minded people. Being a member of BNI has increased my turnover and networking circles”.

“Having been a member of BNI for nearly 6 years I have experienced during this period certainly what first class ‘word-of-mouth’ marketing means and have realised this is the best form of promotion there is. Not only have I made great new friends, but I have build a network or trustworthy, enthusiastic businesses that provide excellent customer service”.

“Becoming a member of BNI should be the first item on the marketing plan of any business. It is the most effective marketing method that I have ever encountered”.
