Being a member of Ebf has not only allowed me to be recommended into a wider audience but also to buy a second property as a result of the increased turnover.

I have found this group to be extremely successful for my business, both gaining new business opportunities and having a pool of professionals to work alongside.

We have been members of Essex Business since its formation.. Over 75% of our new business comes via EBF … through recommendations and referrals. Other EBF members also supply goods and services for many of our own clients. EBF is not only our first-line marketing tool but also part of our supply chain … and we consider it an intrinsic part of our business.

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.

Eachy 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.

Essex Business Forum (EBF) has been the most effective way of increasing my business. Between weekly meetings the members are looking out for business opportunities for each other. The result of this is evident at the meeting when 20 to 30 referrals are passed each week.

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.

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.
