What attendees said about events

TESTIMONIALS

 

As far as networking groups go, this is by far the friendliest bunch I’ve spent time with! Great personalities, great businesses and a genuine desire to connect to new people and make referrals. No awkward silences and a great mingling etiquette.  Colin runs a tight (but fair) ship which results in a quality group of people who are willing to prioritise and commit to their networking.

8BN has been absolutely fantastic. It’s a mix of different industries and people who have run or supported businesses for decades as well as those who are newer to the business world.

As a local charity Colin often refers to us as his charity of choice. We have had great support in the form of donations and pro bono services from him and a number of his members and we really appreciate  all the 'helping hands' they have given and all the smiles they have helped us to bring to families living in poverty in Glasgow.

It was a pleasure to participate in 8BN Glasgow Networking with Collin this year. I met many business owners and professionals from various industries. I got some good projects. And will definitely join future events.
