Successful networking is about developing relationships, which will build your reputation, attract new prospects, and provide referral opportunities. By attending Business 1st meetings on a regular basis, you will grow your contacts and become a trusted colleague to other members within the group. 
Business First Meetings
Meetings are held every Thursday morning, from 6.30am – 8.30am at Darnford Moors Golf Club, Darnford Lane, Lichfield, Staffordshire, WS14 9JG - location map.
With open networking from 6.30am, the meeting starts promptly at 7am, and finishes around 8.30am. Some members then often continue to discuss business with other members after the meeting, whilst others head off promptly to continue their working day.
As well as the chance to network and promote your business, you can also enjoy a wholesome breakfast served with fresh tea, coffee and juice – to start your day the right way.
