Group Leader: Tom Payne

A very warm welcome to Sterling Networks Stroud Breakfast Group.  I lead the group with humour, professionalism and a commitment to ensure members and visitors get the best out of every meeting. I have been a member of Sterling for many years, so I fully understand networking and how Sterling specifically helps to bring people together to generate the referrals they need.

Our networking group, based in the heart of Stroud, has the perfect mix of a structured networking meeting with a relaxed yet friendly atmosphere. We work as a team to make connections and build profitable business relationships based on integrity and trust. It’s a tried and tested formula that helps our group members work together in synergy to support business growth.

I am very well connected in the local area and I hold the accountant seat in the group and have been ACCA qualified for over 17 years. I work with a diverse range of clients including self-employed local electricians and limited companies that turn over a couple of million pounds. By working together, the Stroud Breakfast Group, can tap into this valuable resource of contacts to help grow their businesses.

Visit Stroud Breakfast Group to help start your business day with renewed enthusiasm, new connections and new referrals… we are looking forward to welcoming you to our next meeting!

“I look forward to welcoming you to our great group!”
