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.

An excellent networking group. Very friendly and I’d highly recommend it.

I have been a member for 9 years now of this excellent networking group and, having sampled other networking groups prior, can claim with absolute confidence that EBF is the best networking group locally.

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

I Joined Essex Business Forum a few months after I started by business and have been a member ever since. In the past six years I have not only obtained quality business leads that have led to me carrying out work for a variety of clients but have also fostered an excellent network of business contacts who I am happy to recommend and do so on a regular basis.

In addition I have a great support network in that the other members are happy to give me advice and guidance when needed and I hope I provide that to them as well.

I cannot think of any downside of being member of this brilliant organisation –except for getting up early every Thursday morning!

When I first started in business 11 months ago I can confidently say that without the new clients that I have obtained from a being a member of Essex Business Forum, my business may not have survived. It’s not just about business though – the support and friendship is also important.

I have been involved with networking groups for over 16 years, and this is by far the best group I have joined. Well organised, with a structured agenda and enthusiastic, focussed members, the meetings are enjoyable and there is a ton of business flying around the room. You find yourself really wanting to find quality referrals for the members. If you are a small business and are looking to meet a positive group of like minded individuals, you should definitely take a look at EBF
