🎉 Congratulations to Stephen Rushton of Training & Business Solutions Ltd on receiving his 100 Point Pin Badge from BNI!

As a valued member of James Brindley BNI in Leek, Steve has shown that success in business isn’t about luck – it’s about consistently showing up, building genuine relationships, and always looking for ways to help others.

Networking isn’t just about collecting business cards; it’s about earning trust, supporting fellow members, and creating opportunities through meaningful connections. Steve’s achievement is recognition of the time, effort, and positive attitude he brings to the group week after week.

His dedication proves that when you invest in people, maintain the right habits, and genuinely care about helping others succeed, good things happen – both in business and beyond.

Well deserved, Steve! Here’s to the next milestone and continued success. 🏆

It's basically a cult.
It's just an expensive bacon sandwich.
It's all accountants, commercial finance and solicitors.

Believe us. We've heard it all.

From the inflexible meeting structure to the hand-on-the-Bible-whilst-sacrificing-your-firstborn intiation, there's no shortage of examples of why BNI isn't for you.

But have you seen it for yourself?

The world's most successful organisation of its type generates £billions of business for its members.

Its approach is so successful, you'll see it replicated in every other business networking group.

James Brindley in Leek is no exception - with over £600,000 of revenue generated this year in this small, growing Chapter.

Curious?
Come and find out for yourself on Friday 26 June at our open meeting event, or any Friday where you want to expand your network, meet new connections and grow your business.

DM or comment "Business" for details and see for yourself.

Every year, professionals around the world take time to focus on building authentic connections - sharing knowledge, creating opportunities, and supporting one another beyond a quick exchange of business cards.

Whether you’re an entrepreneur, a business owner, or someone looking to expand your professional circle, International Networking Week is an invitation to step outside your routine, meet new people, and experience how intentional networking can open doors you didn’t even know existed.

Come and see how this is not just a once-a-year event for James Brindley.

Why Do We Network? Because Community Grows Business.

At James Brindley BNI, we show up each week for one simple reason: together, we grow better. Real relationships, shared knowledge, and genuine support — that’s what makes our group special.

Friday morning really highlighted that spirit.

We’re delighted to welcome our new members -Neil Ouzman of Nexclowd.com and Kev Hawkins of The Hubb Foundation into the chapter!

Neil helps businesses stay connected and protected through his vital cybersecurity work.
Kev represents The Hubb Foundation, a charity providing meals, activities, and safe spaces for children and families across Stoke-on-Trent. Their impact on the community is incredible.

Big Congrats to Danny Wareham of Firgun
Danny gave a brilliant 60-second pitch today — funny, engaging, and packed with insight into how Firgun supports businesses through people-focused culture and HR. Great job, Danny!

Huge thanks to Nicky Bartley of Thrive & Shine for an inspiring talk on building resilience, breaking through limiting beliefs, and improving wellbeing at work. Everyone in the room took something valuable away.

Same time next week?
We meet every Friday at 6:30am at Rudyard Activity Centre.
If you’d like to grow your business, build real connections, and be part of a supportive community — get in touch. You’ll be made very welcome!
