“As a result of joining the Bath Business Group, I have established a number of new business contacts, both as new clients and new suppliers, the element of trust when buying goods or services from another member of the business group is key in any purchasing decision. The rewards simply in terms of new business won makes it worthwhile joining - this is networking at its best.”

“It is my pleasure to have been a member of Bath Business Group since its inception in its former incarnation as Business2Exchange some three years ago. During that time I have received many quality referrals and indeed, exchanged business with many members of and visitors to the group. More importantly, I feel that I belong to a force for good within the Bath Business community, an environment where like-minded business professionals can exchange information and ideas in a relaxed, informal and nurturing way. Nowadays there is a plethora of business networking organisations, all with their own personality and modus operadi. The aims, attitude and ambience of Bath Business Group make it genuinely different.”

“As a member of the Bath Business Group, I feel that I belong to a caring community of small business owners. As a sole practitioner, my business and work life can be very isolating. The Group provides an outlet for sharing ideas and problems with others in business. There is an atmosphere of mutual trust and respect - word of mouth recommendations are automatic because of this atmosphere. Since joining the group, I have also formed friendships with people that I would otherwise not have met in my business.
As entrepreneurs, most of us are very busy building our own businessess. The informality of the group suits my schedule. We understand that each member makes every effort to attend meetings and those that do not attend due to work commitmment are never censured.”
