The Business Network: Preston

"Having been involved in many business networking over the years, I have found Preston Business Network to be one of the best organised and most enjoyable meetings I have attended. Every meeting is very well planned / hosted, the agenda is relaxed, always kept to time and held the best venues available in the area. Business Network provides a valuable opportunity for our business to network locally and will remain a vital component of our face to face marketing for many years to come. "

Ian Hilton, Tech Advance Ltd

"As a member of The Business Network Preston, we have attended their events on a number of occasions and have been blown away by the warm welcome and professionalism that is extended to all members and guests. People feel able to build long term relationships in the Network which helps generate business in a friendly and non - pushy manner. I would recommend The Business Network Preston without hesitation. "

Simon Price, DWF LLP

"I can’t praise Business Network (Central & East Lancs) highly enough. It offers just the right blend of formal and informal networking and, crucially, a good mix of organisations to build relationships with. We’ve made some excellent contacts and some really good friends."

Chris Macpherson, Chapelfield PR

"The Business Network is the only network I would consider going to during office hours, its friendly, vibrant, slick and above all it works! People buy form people and it provides the ideal environment to make that happen."

Natasha Schofield, Grassroots HR

"Imagine a networking group that runs like clockwork, with no scary moments, no feeling of wasting your time and no dread when it's time for the next one! I tried a number of different networking groups in the early days of my business and the Preston Business-Network was the only one I have kept on. It is run superbly well by experienced businesswomen Karen Tems & Helen Riley, supported by warm, friendly helpers. They only allow professionals, senior staff and decision-makers to join, which ensures that contacts made are top-quality. Just the number of strategic business partnerships I have made makes it worth my membership fee, but I have also made sales and had referrals. The free seminars are also excellent and have included some top speakers - including Ian Brodie and Will Kintish. Come along as a guest one month, we will all make you very welcome. "

Michelle Scott, Pitman Training

"I have attended various networking events to get a feel for what they can offer and I found the Preston Business Network stood out head and shoulders above the rest. The pre-lunch seminars are always interesting, members are fully committed to helping other members achieve success and Karen, the leader, ensures you get the most out of your subscription. The excellent company, outstanding venues and delicious lunch are value for money. But most of all, I really look forward to attending the events!"
