At BNI Webb Ellis - Business Networking in Rugby, collaboration isn’t just something we talk about, it’s how we work. We’re always looking for ways to support each other and, ultimately, deliver a better service to our clients.

This year, we were encouraged to bring banners along to our meetings, a simple but powerful way for visitors and members to quickly understand what we do and who we help.

This particular project was a brilliant example of teamwork done right.

James Hedley from JOH Marketing shaped the messaging.

Tejal Prajapati from Creative brought the design to life.

Malcolm Freeman from Oxygen Elements handled the print and production.

Together, we created a premium double-sided banner for Sean Taylor at Lightweight Mobility & Seating, and he’s absolutely delighted with the result.

One side speaks directly to his B2B audience.
The other targets B2C customers.

Smart, strategic, and versatile.

Not only will it support him at networking meetings, but it’ll also feature on his exhibition stand at his next event. A banner that keeps on giving.

If you’re looking to elevate your presence at networking events and make a stronger first impression, we’ve created a banner package that makes it easy.

Drop me a message if you’d like the details.

Last night, Webb Ellis - Business Networking swapped the meeting room for the bowling lanes and darts board – and what a brilliant Friday night it was! 🎳

For us, networking is about so much more than a weekly meeting. We love mixing things up with monthly socials where we can relax, have a laugh, and really get to know each other beyond the business chat.

Because at the heart of it for us networking is about building real friendships.

Huge thank you to Raj and Michelle Love for organising, another fantastic evening!

Looking forward to the next one!

❤️ Love was in the air at BNI Webb Ellis - Business Networking in Rugby ❤️

We all fell back in love with networking thanks to a surprise visit from Cupid!

During our 60 seconds, each member received a special message sharing just how brilliant they are. A great reminder of the power of appreciation in business.

We then enjoyed a fantastic 10-minute presentation from Gary Lloyd at Space Station Self Storage. He gave us a behind-the-scenes look at what really goes on across their self-storage units throughout the UK.

Did you know self-storage is one of the fastest-growing industries right now, with demand soaring nationwide?

Gary shared how security and accessibility are at the heart of everything they do, and the robust systems they have in place to ensure customers feel confident and supported. Absolutely fantastic presentation, well done, Gary 👏

This week we were also proud to receive Silver Chapter status 🥈 from Julie Cameron for reaching 30+ members - a brilliant achievement for the chapter.

Huge thanks to Andrea Lennard, Harpreet Stevenson and Carter Murphy for their leadership and for guiding us to become such a strong and supportive business community.
