Brierley Hill Breakfast – Business Networking Meeting
Brierley Hill has a thriving business community in the heart of the Black Country, and none more so than at Sterling’s Breakfast Group, hosted by Metro Bank. But why do business owners join our Brierley Hill Breakfast networking group? The answer is clear…. to make genuine connections and work together in synergy to build profitable businesses. Sterling Networks has a tried and tested formula to help support the business community in the West Midlands, with an in-depth knowledge of the local area and an established network of contacts.
Group Leader
Josh Harvey
I’m thrilled to welcome you to our Brierley Hill Breakfast networking meeting, in partnership with Metro Bank. We have a fresh and dynamic approach to networking with lots of energy in the room to inspire members from a wide variety of professions. Meeting every two weeks gives us a great balance between working on our businesses and developing connections through the Sterling referral marketing framework.
I have been networking for many years and also a member of several Sterling Networks Groups, before then becoming the Group Leader of Brierley Hill Breakfast. I always believe that people buy from people and getting to know each other through a structured meeting and 1 to 1’s gives you the perfect opportunity to understand how we can help each other.
We operate a one seat policy at Brierley Hill Breakfast and as an agency offering Graphic Design and Websites in the group, I see first-hand the massive benefits Sterling Networks has had on my business. We pass many referrals between us in the group, with an impressive total revenue generated, but we also build trusted friendships along the way!
I can’t wait to welcome you as a visitor to our next meeting at the Brierley Hill Breakfast Group at Metro Bank… it’s a chance to make connections that could really make a difference to your business!
