BNI South Wales - Business Networking for Cardiff, Swansea, Newport, Haverfordwest and Aberystwyth

Blow away the cobwebs

I’ve always been the sort of person that tries to get involved and meet as many new people as possible. So when I was approached by Colin Gooch of Cheltenham BNI in the safety of my own office, I was more than happy to converse with him in the hope that I may well talk my way into a house to sell. Little did I know what was coming..! Somehow I ended up saying "Yes" to a breakfast meeting at 6.45 in the morning the following Friday.

I arrived feeling a little worse for wear but the cobwebs were soon blown clear as I was rapidly taken in by friendly faces and introduced to all manner of people from numerous professions who did their utmost to make me feel welcome.

Since then I became taken with the energy, commitment and humour given by all the members of the group. Not to mention the real reason for being there - the amount of business done and the way in which the name awareness of all of our businesses is spread. It is quite remarkable.

The manner in which the meetings are run is very structured and the content from week to week quite random and varied. Thus making BNI both highly profitable, enjoyable and rather unpredictable!

It has been a pleasure meeting everyone over the past year and I’ll look forward to our paths continuing to cross in the future.

And, by the way - "Thanks Colin"
