Where the work comes from

Why referrals work for a roofer

The warmest introductions rarely come from online advertising. They come from businesses who regularly work with homeowners, landlords and commercial owners – usually around a storm, a leak or a survey report. That’s why builders, building surveyors and letting agents are such natural allies for any roofer.

What happens on a Thursday

We meet every Thursday between 6:30am and 8:30am, so it’s done before the working day gets going. Every week you get 60 seconds or more to tell the room about your services – roughly double some other networking groups give you. Between meetings, members book one-to-one catch-ups to learn what each other is looking for, and there’s a strong social side too.

What it costs
