Where the work comes from

Why introductions work for a caterer

Your best referrals don’t often come from cold marketing. Instead, they come from businesses who already talk to businesses, families and event hosts. This is why events organisers, venues and wedding planners make such strong referral partners for any caterer, in Brentwood or anywhere in Essex.
Natural referral partners: events organisers, venues and wedding planners

How our meetings work

Members meet every Thursday between 6:30am and 8:30am, before most working days begin. Each week you have 60 seconds or more to tell the room about your services – roughly double some other networking groups give you. Outside the meeting, members arrange 1-2-1s to understand what each other is looking for, and there’s a strong social side too – summer BBQs, Halloween events and charity challenges.

Costs, and paying monthly

Your first visit is free. Should you decide to become a member, membership fees can be spread into monthly payments, and there’s a 6-month trial option to start with, which keeps it affordable for newer businesses.

Questions

Can I recommend someone outside Brentwood?

Not at all. EBF members travel in from all over Essex, so a trusted caterer nearby is worth recommending.

Is there any obligation to join?

No. Your first visit is free, with no pressure to sign up. Join us one Thursday, meet the members and decide for yourself.
