EXCELLENT Based on 23 reviews Posted on Google Lisa FranksTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have been a member of Connect Surrey for the past few months and it has been a great way to meet likeminded professionals who genuinely support one another through business connections and referrals. I always look forward to the fortnightly meetings and enjoy the informal and welcoming atmosphere whilst networking.Posted on Google Andy ManingtonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great networking group, friendly members with no pressure. always something new to learn from other members and visitors and plenty of business being exchanged.Posted on Google Greg HoldenTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve been part of this networking group of meeting for almost 12 years. Whilst it’s not an instant fix to client referrals it has helped me meet a wide range of people from very different industries. Over time relationships are built and I have seen the benefits to my business. The other great part of it is you will always know someone you can trust to help a client or for your own need.Posted on Google Dan BlytheTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve been a member of Connect Surrey for a while now and genuinely look forward to every meeting. I regularly attend both the Cobham & Leatherhead and Reigate groups, and the format works brilliantly for me as a professional services business owner. The 8am–10am timing is ideal as it allows you to network properly without taking up the whole working day. What I particularly like is that the meetings are structured and professional, but still very relaxed and welcoming. There’s no pressure to force referrals or pass leads, which makes building genuine relationships much more natural. Ironically, because of this approach, I’ve both passed and received a significant amount of business through the group. It’s led to new clients, project work, collaborations and even introductions to excellent suppliers I now work with regularly. Another huge benefit is the opportunity to sub at other Connect Surrey groups, which really broadens your network and gives you the chance to meet a wide variety of local business owners and professionals. If you’re looking for a professional, friendly and well-run networking group that focuses on long-term relationships rather than hard selling, I’d highly recommend Connect Surrey.Posted on Google James CarsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great people, well organised, come you won’t regret it.Posted on Google Square DaisyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Connect South has been brilliant for our business - the networking groups are full of great businesses, are well run and find a perfect balance between being formal and relaxed which means more business can get done. Would recommend any SME to join one of the groups!Posted on Google Terry WarmanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve been attending Surrey Connect Ltd, run by Paul Bridgeland, and it’s genuinely one of the best networking groups I’ve been part of. The atmosphere is relaxed, welcoming, and very genuine, which makes it easy to build real connections rather than feeling like a hard-sell networking event. The members are fantastic — supportive, professional, and a pleasure to be around. Paul does a brilliant job running the group and creating such a positive environment. He’s a great guy who clearly cares about the people in the network and goes out of his way to help members connect and grow their businesses. Highly recommend Surrey Connect to anyone looking for quality business networking in a friendly and enjoyable setting.Posted on Google Jeff WindsorTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Connect Reigate is a highly professional and friendly networking group.Posted on Google Dave PearnTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have been networking with the Connect Surrey 'family' since 2017 and find each of the regular groups to be professional, supportive and inclusive. There is always a wide range of local businesses offering help and advice, as well as exchanging business, and all with a welcoming and positive atmosphere. I can highly recommend!Posted on Google Ian BlythTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I hope they will forgive me for saying so, but this is business networking for people that don't really 'do' business networking. It's relaxed and enjoyable, with no pressure to pass referrals, just lots of opportunities to collaborate and share. Also, there's always a good mix of people in the room whether you are at Cobham, Reigate, Guildford or Farnham. Highly recommended for business owners, and managers.
