Meet local business owners, make new connections and discover how referral networking can help grow your business.

Grow your business through better connections.

Come along to BNI George at Heworth Golf Club for a friendly, structured business networking breakfast with local business owners and professionals from across Gateshead, Newcastle and the wider North East.

Our members meet every Friday morning to build relationships, learn about each other’s businesses and, most importantly, pass genuine business opportunities and referrals to one another.

In the last 12 months, our group has generated £689,402 of business between its members and that’s just the business we know about.

If you’re self-employed, running a business or responsible for bringing in new clients, you’ll have the opportunity to:

🤝 Meet established local business owners and professionals

📣 Introduce yourself and tell the room what you do

💡 Learn how referral networking works

🔗 Build relationships that can lead to introductions and new business

☕ Enjoy breakfast and a relaxed chat with members

👀 Experience a BNI George meeting before deciding whether membership is for you

Never been networking before? That’s absolutely fine. You don’t need to prepare a sales pitch and you won’t be expected to join. Come along, meet everyone and see what you think.

Who should attend?

We welcome business owners, self-employed professionals and people responsible for business development who want to build a stronger local network.

BNI operates on a one person per business category basis, so if your profession is currently available within the group, there may also be an opportunity to become the chapter’s representative for your industry.

What happens on the morning?

You’ll be welcomed by one of our members when you arrive and introduced to the group.

There’s time for open networking before the structured meeting begins. During the meeting, you’ll hear from our members, have an opportunity to briefly introduce your own business and see how referrals and recommendations are generated within the group.
