Essex Business Forum Meeting Review 21st June 2012

Meeting Thursday 21st June 2012-06-21

27 members, 1 guest Sara Hemming of Regain Case Management

6 members present by 6am, busy early networking.

I would like to stimulate the great scrambled egg debate. Breakfast was its usual good standard and the SE was outstanding, soft, slightly runny and a succulent joy to the palate. I know there are those who like it firm and crumbly…you have my pity!! Remember, you can respond to this in the space provided below.

The Ed Slot was all about the importance of attendance. For those of you not there….it was useful.

The 60 seconds was always verging on the vernacular. Joan Jaggernaught was on the letter L. For liberation of personal power which somehow was related to liberation of personal gas supplies. This had a certain synergy with Richard Smith looking to use his power flush and Kevin Radford looking for cleaners. Adrian Crosdale is back bringing a little light into our lives, and his return immediately prompted Nick Cooke to reveal that they have proper chandeliers at Cooke Towers. Well at least you now know how to clean them if the servants are ever taken ill Nick!!

Steve Carmichael Brown’s boast to turn sunshine into £s had to compete with the rain lashing down as he spoke but he put in a sterling performance with Kevin Radford in almost convincing us that an accountants life can be stimulating if you can only have a farmer as a client. Paul rightly was the runaway winner of the Oscar. My abiding memory was however Graham Thurston’s vain attempts to keep his hands out of his pockets. They lodged in his belt for 10 seconds only, until descending into their customary resting place…Brian, please be gentle with him next week!!!

On to business….   £15090.00 recorded this week and lots of referrals. Let’s see if we can make it a record month.

Eh bien, mes amis, I must now leave you for my holidays.

I wish you a prosperous meeting next week.

Member Testimonials

  • 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 [...]

    Key business decision

    A Key Business Decision
  • 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 [...]

    Jason Nortey, Business Relationship Manager at Barclays Bank

  • 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.

    Suzanne Riches, Workplace Safety Systems Limited.

  • 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 [...]

    Richard Reed, Prestige Holidays & Travel

  • 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.

    Howard Bullock, Clear Financial Advice
