Hello and welcome

Sean Humby - Director

Welcome to Business Network (SW) and thank you for visiting.

The Business Network offers senior decision makers monthly, lunch time, structured and business focused networking events in Exeter, Bristol and Taunton.   Full details of events, including all of 2010, available by clicking on Diary.   Each event has a business seminar and a served networking lunch ensuring you have time to build the relationships that count. 

Why does it work? – the events are for decision makers, there is a restriction on membership meaning that your business is given prominence; the seating plan system means that the decision makers sit with different people on a regular basis; the environment is created to enable people to be relaxed and comfortable building relationships with others there.

What people are saying about The Business Network.

"The Business Network was the first networking group I joined when I started my business over 5 years ago and it is testament to this business that I still have no hesitation in re-joining. Networking is all about building strong relationships and The Business Network is a great tool to do this. Sean's passion and enthusiasm for his work is infectious." 

Ashley Scott - Printing.com - Exeter

"Thank you for creating such a great network. Business has been brilliant as a result"

Simon Leek - South West ICT Limited

"Business networking lunches are not only a pleasure as the food is very good, but very useful as you meet a great mix of people and have plenty of time to talk to them therefore making connections for future relationships. "Jenny Evans - The Best of Taunton

I've been a Business Network member for about 5 years now. There are so many networking opportunities in the area now its hard to know where best to spend your time, however one date that's always in the diary is the Business Network because of its format. I like the fact you only have decision makers there and the table system works really well too. Keep up the great work Sean et al Alastair Banks - Optix Solutions

"Sean's business network across the South West is one of the best.  It is always packed, lunch & wine very good and great new business to chat with and get to know. That right balance of networking, learning and enjoyment." Wendy Wills - Ways2Win

"There are networking groups then there is Business Network South West, Sean’s drive, commitment and enthusiasm for what he does shows through every time. He is genuinely interested in getting to know how he can help and is proactive in putting people together.  Through the Taunton group we won our first large order which I’m sure is just the first of many.
Thank you Sean for making it a pleasure to network in convivial surroundings and with really great people and doing business helps!  If you haven’t come to a meeting then do as it will definitely add value to your business." Tim Rigby - Eco Kitchens Online

The National Pages joined the Business Network SW a year ago and have found it one of the most pleasant Networking Groups in Somerset and always great for business!  I heartily recommend Sean’s Network Group, Business Network (SW) and look forward to the next meeting (and lunch and wine!). Annette Finch at The National Pages, UK Business Directory

"Sean practices what he preaches, networking not on behalf of the Network so much as on behalf of the members. His genuine enthusiasm for and knowledge of the members makes him a great host and he always knows someone who can help, whatever our needs. When I moved to Exeter 2 years ago, I went along to the local Business Network lunch on day 2 of my job here. The atmosphere was friendly, welcoming and supportive, largely thanks to Sean. I have met so many great suppliers, supporters and downright lovely people since that it was definitely one of the best things I could have done."  Helena Holt - Devon Air Ambulance Trust

“I was initially recommended to Sean by a trusted colleague and both Business Network and Sean personally have been extremely beneficial to our business since the start. Revenue has been generated and that for me proves its worth. Sean's approach to networking and his personal business introductions to me and within the group, set him and the network apart from others I have attended. A “win win” atmosphere prevails amongst members and business gets done as a result. Join and see for yourself.”  Nick Porter - Blue Arrow
