Where the work comes from

How referrals work for a dog groomer or dog walker

The warmest introductions rarely come from online advertising. Instead, they come from businesses who regularly work with busy dog owners and new puppy owners. That’s why vets, pet shops and estate agents are such natural allies for every dog groomer or dog walker, in Chelmsford or anywhere in Essex.

Inside a Thursday meeting

We meet every Thursday between 6:30am and 8:30am, before most working days begin. Each week you get at least a minute to present your business – roughly double many larger networking groups give you. Between meetings, members book 1-2-1s to understand who makes a good referral.

What it costs

Visiting costs nothing. Should you decide to become a member, all fees can be paid monthly, and there’s a 6-month trial membership if you’d rather test the water, which makes it affordable for smaller businesses.

Can I recommend someone outside Chelmsford?

Not at all. EBF members travel in from all over Essex, so a great dog groomer or dog walker nearby is welcome.

Not at all. Visiting costs nothing, with no pressure to sign up. Come along, meet the members and make up your own mind.
