About BNI Wilberforce

Business Network International (BNI) was founded by Dr Ivan R. Misner in January 1985 and it is now the largest business networking organization in the world. There are currently over 4,600 groups in operation in 37 countries with almost 100,000 members!

BNI is truly unique and each group allows only one person from each trade or profession to join which means you can effectively "lock out" your competition. Last year, members of BNI passed over 4.9 MILLION REFERRALS and this translated into over £1.5 Billion in business being done between the members.

Word of mouth advertising is the best advertising there is and being a member of BNI is like having a whole team of salespeople working for you. Each member carries around a card file containing every members’ business cards and when they meet someone new that could use your products or services they hand over your card and recommend your services.

The Wilberforce Group has now been running for six years and currently has 29 members representing a wide variety of trades and professions. We share ideas, contacts and, most importantly, business referrals. Please take a look at our members’ page to find out more about us.

Visitors are more than welcome to attend our meetings and those that do always comment on the good humour and friendly atmosphere that is characteristic of the Wilberforce Group.
