It works by organising weekly networking meetings for groups of businesses who work to find business opportunities for one another. Each group, or chapter, follows proven networking processes to ensure the maximum amount of business is generated for members.

Chapter president Victoria Green, of Lancaster-based V Move Estate Agents, said: “BNI Morecambe is one of three groups currently operating in the Lancaster and Morecambe area.

“Each one is at different stages of growth, but we’re aiming for them all to become two million pound chapters, which is quite common for a group with 40 members or more. We’re really proud to have achieved £700,000 in referrals in the last year.

“I think the secret to success with BNI is getting the right people in the group. We’re very lucky to have a fantastic set of people already, and we always welcome visitors to come along to see if it’s something that could work for them too.

“The more good people there are in a group, the better it works for everyone, so our doors are always open.”
