Paul Wilkins, MD of P C Wilkins Ltd joined BNI in April 2009 and in 6 months his business has seen massive growth not only in cashflow but customers as well.  Here's what Paul has to say...

"With trades hit hard during these recessive times, I have found that traditional advertising methods can be costly and non-effective.  Since joining BNI 6 months ago, my diary has been busy with work that has been referred to me from other businesses from BNI Pavilion.  I get to tell people each week what projects I have been working on and what kind of work I want more of.  I don't get this opportunity through advertising, and I cannot knock on people's doors to tell them, and I certainly cannot employ a salesforce - which is why I joined BNI - I have other businesses doing it for me.  Likewise I get to chat to my customers about the services I can connect them to. 

There's nothing better than a recommendation from a trusted source."
