Preston business group celebrates £1.9m year

By Dean

13 Apr 2016

A Preston-based business group is celebrating after generating £1.9m in business for one another in the last year.

BNI Invincible is part of the world’s biggest referral organisation, Business Network International, and meets for breakfast every Thursday at the Invincibles Lounge, Preston North End.

BNI Invincible chapter president, Beccy Irving of Bird Design & Marketing, said: “We’re really proud to have generated £1.9m for our businesses here in Preston.

“One of those procedures is the Thank You for the Business box, which is passed around each week, and is how we track the amount of business generated.

“We’re aiming to grow the group to 40 people with the aim of busting the £2m a year mark. 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, but we want more.

BNI Invincible is one of four chapters in the Preston and Chorley area, and a total of ten in the Lancashire area as a whole. To enquire about available spaces in any of the chapters in Lancashire, email [email protected].
