Testimonials about Essex Business Forum from past and present members

  • There are many reasons why being a member of EBF has helped my business. Firstly of course are the recommended referrals. Our hit rate is really high on EBF business , way up in the 90%.

    Secondly I have access to experts in their fields ,all of whom are happy to offer advice on issues that arise during business life and thirdly it helps you to build confidence.

    Standing up and speaking in front of people doesn’t come naturally to all . Doing this on a regular basis really helped me to build confidence not only here but in my normal business dealings.

    I fully recommend you come along and give EBF a try.

  • When I joined EBF I had recently gone into business by myself, as a freelancer.  With just a few clients under my belt, I hoped membership would help me to grow, and to become established.  It has certainly done that.  I’m now collaborating regularly with fellow members on new business, and have a regular flow of high quality referrals.  This is my No.1 focus for business growth.

  • 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 on business growth.

  • 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.

  • 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
