Hello and welcome to the Evesham chapter of Business Network International, better known as BNI.

BNI Evesham is a local business network consisting of a group of successful businesses based in Warwickshire and Worcestershire. BNI is perhaps better described as a business opportunity network where each member is seeking business opportunities for fellow members on a daily basis. Each week we meet with the chief aim of passing these business leads to each other.

Networking in business has become an essential part of the marketing mix for businesses of all sizes. And BNI globally, enjoys the status of being the largest and most successful local business network orgnisation of its type in the world. Business networking through BNI, generated members £1Billion worth of business for Business Network International members. We know that membership of BNI is worth an average of £26,000 per year to each member. Certainly at BNI Evesham, our records suggest that we have passed over half a million pounds worth of business to each other.

In Evesham we hold a formal meeting over breakfast every Friday morning at the Vale Golf and Country Club between Evesham and Pershore. It starts at 6.45am and we make sure it is over by 8.30am so we can get to our desks by the time everyone elses day begins. We run the chapter as any of us would run our businesses with objectives and targets. This structure binds us into an effective business community.

Setting up a business network is an essential part of generating sales. Stepping into an established local business network clearly makes sense. There is an existing momentum and structure as well as a culture of success. The power of BNI is its long established, success, format and procedure. New BNI members step into a ready-made business network and start benefitting very quickly.

And it works both ways, which is why we are always interested in meeting businesses who feel that they would compliment our existing membership. If you would like to attend a meeting or discuss BNI please contact BNI Evesham membership secretary David Yates on 0870 7656461 or by email.
