WHAT HAS BNI DONE FOR YOU/ YOUR BUSINESS:
We are now in our 4th month of BNI membership and so far it has generated circa £5K. It has helped me on a personal level to regain my confidence in presenting and taught me to be specific about who we are targeting as a business. In the short time I have been a member I have met some fantastic people/business contacts with a wealth of experience and knowledge, who are a great support network both personally and professionally. As a business, it is certainly helping to raise the profile of the Hospitality & Events division at Villa Park.
