The business networking group BNI will hold a visitors day in Warkworth on March 22.

The group meets at the Warkworth Bowls Club on Wednesdays, starting at 7am.

Club president Lynn Hailes says businesses within the local network generated more than $670,000 worth of business for one another last year.

“We’re reaching out to businesses in the wider region, offering structured networking support,” she says.

“BNI consultant for Warkworth Bill Raynel will attend the visitors day and will be available to mentor and support other businesspeople.”

Bill says that for new businesses in Warkworth, BNI presents a great opportunity to be introduced and connect with the business community and gain business through referrals.

The group only allows one membership per industry, so it is looking currently to add businesspeople from the following trades – signwriter/graphic designer/printer, resource planner/surveyor, mechanic, gym operator, hairstylist, health professionals, interior designer, handyman, landscape designer and marketing consultant, as well as other businesses.
