BNI Wulfrun

Whatever you need, when you’re looking for a new supplier there’s nothing more compelling than a personal recommendation. Equally, if you’re happy with a service or product you’ve bought, you want to tell people about it.

Each week, members of BNI get together to do just that - give fellow members referrals for business opportunities that they
have found during the week.

We believe that to recommend someone, you need to be confident in their product or service and have a good understanding of their business. Meeting every week gives us the chance to hear feedback on other members and build lasting relationships based on trust.

It is this that forms the basis of BNI and our core principle, “Givers Gain.” Effectively, if you help me to find business, I will want to help you find business. Every Wednesday morning we meet to share business opportunities and to offer help and support to our fellow members.

The Wulfrun Chapter of BNI is a new and growing chapter with openings for a number of professions. If you live or work in the Wolverhampton area and would like to share in the opportunities generated by a close relationship with other businesses why not come along to one of meetings where you can see for yourself the benefits of belonging?

2000th referral

2000 referrals in 2 years

BNI Wulfrun has been a fully functioning chapter since their launch in April 2006 and Wednesday 30th April 2008 saw the 2000th referral passed. The new leadership team who took over at the beginning of April are thrilled with the results so far.

The referral in question was passed from Darren Williamson of Lawson’s, a letting agent based in Chapel Ash, Wolverhampton to Claire Tarling of Tarlink Installations, an electrical contractor based in Staffordshire.

Lawson’s has a constant need for contractors to maintain their properties, situated throughout the Midlands, and prefer to use BNI members as their main source of recruiting them. In fact Lawson’s currently have members in 4 separate chapters and similarly Tarlink has a member in another local chapter. Claire was placed into the Wulrun chapter in order to lock out any competitors.

Claire was introduced to the chapter by Darren, who when passing this referral also passed his 250th personal referral within the group.
