Membership and involvement with EBF is a key part of my business. I have built up many valuable relationships with like-minded companies in the area. Every week there is a lively buzz and a pleasant atmosphere and I'm convinced that more business is passed in that environment than in the overly-regimented approaches I have seen elsewhere in the past.

I was introduced to Essex Business Forum by an existing member, and honestly at the time I did not know, nor understand what to expect. 2 years later, I can say EBF is beyond business referrals. For me, it is about working closely with positive and inspirational external colleagues; and constantly educating each other. I truly believe EBF has played a huge part in my professional development; and in my presence in the community.
Setting up your own business is very different to being employed and I have found the group to be invaluable in terms of support, advice and assisting me to attract new clients. If you are a new business I strongly recommend you join.
I only became involved with the whole networking concept for the first time last year and I can genuinely say that it has worked for me.
Not only has it already more than paid for itself with the business I have gained but meeting with fellow professionals from all walks of life has given me a new energy.
As well as providing an important and consistent source of new business, the group is a valuable resource of support and advice which has been vital to the development of our firm. The trust and respect that builds between members has a direct influence of business growth.
When I first started in business my biggest concern was the ability to get new clients. I have no doubt that the biggest factor in the success of my business has been joining the group. I cannot recommend it highly enough.
Being a member of Essex Business Forum is like having 35+ sales people working for me. Such a huge part of my business is due to me being a member that I would never dream of doing anything else. I look forward to my Thursday mornings!
