Gloucestershire, UK, March 13, 2010 -- Bucking the trend for positive and genuine business recommendations are local business owners Allan Wasley & Roger James. Allan & Roger have formed a new business networking group namely ‘Business First’ based at Bells Hotel & Golf Club in Coleford. Meetings take place each Tuesday morning at 7:15am.

Roger James, Director of Office Star Group Ltd in Coleford and Allan Wasley, Dean Estate Agents have found an opening for like minded business folk looking to increase their network of contacts through a professional meeting forum.

Roger commented ‘There is no substitute for meeting like minded business professionals face to face, and the power of business referrals via Word of Mouth. No single personality type is right for every business as different businesses demand different skills and attitudes, however, all successful entrepreneurs share a passion for what they do and the ability to inspire others to work with them. Your own approach will have a significant impact on the success of your business and whether it achieves its full growth potential. We have a great mix of business people that bring their experiences to the table on a Tuesday morning and offer members good, solid and sound advice. It is without doubt that combined pooling of contacts, referrals and experience has helped many members gain business that they simply would not have received without ‘Business First.

Since the formation in January 2010, Business First have hit the ground running and growing week by week. However, you just can’t turn up and join as the standards are set high. Allan Wasley believes that honesty and a genuine desire to exceed expectations are the foundations of what the group aspires to. Allan said ‘I have referred members to my clients on the basis that I know they will deliver a first class service, be punctual and above all remember that they are also representing the member that referred them in the first place. It is with this expectation that many local folk are experiencing great service and support from local businesses, something that we all strive towards. Our trades members work hard to get their quotes out within hours of an appointment, something that you may normally wait days if not weeks for. By making commitments to join, it is absolutely essential that we live up to our expectations of supplying the area with reputable businesses and trades’

Allan also continued ‘A well-run network will thrive if its participants play an active role in keeping the network topical and relevant. If you have experienced the benefits of a network group then you will no doubt know that there is additional work, referrals, contracts etc available out there. However, they are rewards of participation and a well run, focused meeting that brings together local businesses to create a vibrant and dynamic organisation that provides its members with greater opportunities to develop networks.

If you think that Business First is for you, please contact either Allan Wasley 01594 835751 or Roger James 01594 810081. A genuine group of local business folk with exacting standards offered to all customers. http://www.businessfirstglos.co.uk
