🎉 BNI Castle Lancaster celebrating 10 years of business growth and referrals! 🎉

This week we marked a huge milestone:
10 years since the founding of BNI Castle. Over the past decade, our members have created an incredible community, where local businesses support each other through trust, referrals, and shared success.

At our celebration we were joined by Mark Irlam, Area Director, who shared how BNI continues to help businesses grow through the power of referrals. Founding member Peter Whamsley also gave a speech, with a touch of nostalgia from his days as President and rightfully so at a milestone like this!

We also recognised some outstanding contributions from notable members:
🏆 Ben Clifton Ben Clifton — Most referrals (584) and most visitors (72)
🏆 Peter David Walmsley Whamsley — Most sponsored members (13, in old measurements)
🏆 Richard Parker — Most “Thank You for the Business” (TYFTB), with nearly £800,000 passed

BNI Castle is proof that when committed business owners come together, the results speak for themselves. In the past 12 months alone, our chapter has shared over £750,000 in referred business real opportunities, real growth, and real value.

🚀 If you’re a local business owner serious about growth, now is the perfect time to get involved. With one seat per profession, joining BNI gives you exclusive access to referrals and connections that can transform your business.
