About BNI Drake Chapter

The Chapter

BNI Drake Capter is currently in a recruitment phase and we are looking for people to join our group who are passionate about growing their business, meeting new people and who will benefit from the superb networking training that BNI offers to all it's members.

The Chapter has a strong core group of professionals dedicated to providing the highest possible standards of work within their industry. However, contrary to urban legend, BNI Drake is also a relaxed and informal networking group. Meetings are always a huge amount of fun, and all our members feel that we are not only amongst respected colleagues but also trusted friends.

As well as offering a platform from which to promote their products and services, BNI Drake Chapter offers a supportive atmosphere to it's members. A place where it is possible to network with other business professionals and benefit from their advice on running a successful business.

- When I first started my business I was working from home. I felt very isolated. BNI was a great way to meet people, and the support the members has given me has increased my confidence tremendously. My business has grown significantly as a result -
