BNI networking groups celebrate £1.7m year

BNI networking groups in East Lancashire are celebrating after members generated £1.7m in business for one another in the last year.

Part of the world’s biggest referral organisation, Business Network International, BNI Kudos, BNI Infinity and BNI Zeus, meet every week in Burnley, Blackburn and Accrington respectively.

Jaydee Davis, Dean Williams and Kate Woods represent the leadership teams of the three chapters in East Lancashire that have generated £1.7m in the last year.

"One of the reasons BNI stands out from other types of networking groups is that we have proven procedures that ensure we take a proactive approach to generating a significant amount of business for each other.

“Kudos is a relatively new group and all the groups are growing gradually. The long term aim is to grow each one to 40 members with the aim of generating £2m a year, per group. "The key to success with BNI is getting the right people in the group. We’re lucky to already have a great group of businesses in all the groups, but we always have our doors open for visitors to see what it’s all about and decide if it could work for them too.”
