BNI breakfasts prove best for business as they celebrate 10 years in UK


Capital Fortune award winning Independent Mortgage Brokers paid tribute to BNI (Business Network International ) as they congratulated the organisation on their 10th anniversary here in the UK.

BNI is the one of the most successful business networking organisations in the world today and has 4,500 local business “breakfast” groups meeting regularly worldwide. Established by its founder an American business guru, Dr Ivan Misner in 1985 it later launched in the UK. Ten years on, there are now over 500 thriving UK Chapters with 12,000 members turning up for regular breakfast meetings passing in excess of £180 million to its members. There is little wonder the concept is rapidly expanding across Europe.

As members attest, BNI’s philosophy could not be simpler, local businesses from 40 listed business categories, such as accountants, solicitors, dentists, brokers, builders, therapists and tradesman meet for breakfast each week and refer to each other - business.

Business referrals are passed on the premise that if I give you business you are likely to give me business and the success of the system has resulted in numerous Chapters opening nationwide particularly in London

Rob Killeen founder of Capital Fortune and local membership co-ordinator at BNI West Hampstead praised BNI and the BNI Directors for their commitment to UK business and for the indefatigable support and assistance given to companies on business growth, networking events, workshops and regular business seminars.

He commented that “As a Company we have gained immense support from BNI and we have made membership a central platform of our Company’s strategic growth. For the price of membership, less than a newspaper advertisement, we have received over 100 potential new pieces of business in the last 12 months.

There is no doubt that you have to “give to gain” but the system really works.”

Capital Fortune recently won the London region “Referral of the Year ” Award 2006 with a £6.2 million referral for insurance to a city based firm of Financial Advisers. The Company has just announced the receipt of a £22m commercial mortgage from members at another London BNI Chapter.
