Camberley BRE Group

"I became a member of a BRE group after attending a visitor day and enjoyed the friendly but business-like format of the event so much that I signed up there and then. What appealed to me was not just that I might get new leads for my business but that there was a ready made raft of service suppliers to draw upon should I need them - companies I could trust and who would respond professionally to my requests when necessary. I found this not only to be true but also I made new friends as well - something I had not really expected at the outset.

 

My business is not what I would consider mainstream - I run an interim management agency called Freelance Directors and I supply top executives to companies on a temporary basis at upper management/ director level. Despite this I have received several assignments from other BRE members, some of which have come to fruition and they have earned my business in excess of £15,000 in just over a year - well worth the spend on the membership fee.

 

I have also been able to help others - I refer the services of BRE members to friends, family, clients and colleagues - I have built a reputation of being someone to turn to because "I know a man who can" - this has helped the image of Freelance Directors which ultimately has to be good for business.

 

Finally, the mornings mean an early start but they are worth it because the members are a great bunch of people to spend time with and they are helping me grow my business - the breakfasts aren't bad too!"
