Yesterday we had an amazing meeting!
Almost 30 business people in the room from so many various sectors. We shared almost 70 genuine referrals and had 5 new visitors.

On top of that we had a feature presentation from Martin Smith from Mayfield Insurance Brokers who are based on the Hartlepool Marina and specialise in commercial insurance.
He highlighted all of the grey areas in insurance that are often overlooked by general internet insurance providers. So many businesses are under insured and some even paying unnecessary premiums. That’s where Martin and his teams expertise comes in to provide you with peace of mind so that if you needed to claim you can be assured that’s it a painless process.

If you would like to come along to BNI and meet local business people who could help yours grow then drop us a message to book your place.

Please share so others may see this.

We had a brilliant feature presentation from David Swinbourne from James David Hearing Care.

Sudden Hearing Loss?
Ear Ache?
Ringing in Your Ears?
Blocked Ears?
It Could Just Be Ear Wax...

How Can you Tell If you Have Hearing Loss
You find the TV is too loud for the other people in the room
You often miss what others are saying as they are mumbling
Telephone conversations are difficult, even with the volume on high or in a quiet space
It’s difficult to hear what you need to when there is background noise
You often hear one word, when the person talking said another (similar sounding) word
If one or more of these statements ring true, then the chances are you have a level of hearing loss.

That’s not uncommon with hearing loss affecting 1 in 6 people in the UK to some level.

Many hearing loss cases are due to a blockage in your ear. The good news is James David Hearing Care can help with their home-visit, ear wax removal service.

Check out their extensive services throughout the north east below!

Welcome to Vision Connor Robinson from New Street Properties.

They specialise in finding high-return, below-market-value property deals — the kind they would happily take on themselves — and making them available exclusively to their investor community. Whether you’re looking to buy, refurbish, rent, refinance (BRRR) or flip for a profit, they give you the insight, contacts, and confidence to move fast on the best opportunities.

They work ethically and transparently, sourcing from genuine local contacts and ensuring every deal is fair, compliant, and selected for long-term sustainability.

How it works:

1. Join our community

Sign up to their WhatsApp group and online community — it’s completely free.

2. Get Real-Time Deal Alerts

They source below-market-value properties from trusted local contacts and retiring landlords in the Northeast. Each listing includes key highlights from a RICS Level Two Building Survey they’ve already had carried out (where possible).

3. Express Your Interest

See something you like? Express your interest, sign their terms, and pay a £250 deposit online on their website to secure the deal.

4. Get the Full Deal Pack

The same day, they will send your invoice for the remaining balance of our sourcing fee. Once paid, you’ll receive the full listing pack, including the complete survey where possible, and they’ll connect you directly with the agent or vendor.
