WHAT IS THE NETWORK CENTRE?

The Network Centre is an independent business network, created and operated by local business people for those who own, run, or work for businesses.
Our moto is: “Local Experts for Local People”

The group hosts networking events at two locations across Northern Ireland. Famously relaxed and informal, our events attract local business owners from a mix of business sectors. At the events, we actively facilitate business to business connections, helping your company raise its profile, increase its valuable contacts and develop new contracts. We suscribe to the philosophy that:

“If I give you business, you’ll want to give me business back“.

We engage with our members on how to attract and win more new business through word of mouth at a local level is like having your own unpaid marketing team working for you, because your fellow members give out your cards and refer your business to people they meet.

Why do they do this? Because they know you are doing exactly the same for them.

BENEFITS IN BECOMING A MEMBER?

The network group’s primary aim is to increase business opportunities for its members as well as
developing close relationships between the members of its business community. Some of the benefits of joining the group will be:

  • Interact with fellow business owners
  • Get business tips from fellow members
  • Share your experiences and what has worked for you
  • Receive referrals from the other members
Our network is as much about giving as receiving. In fact statistics show that those who give the most referrals, receive the most. This is also true the other way, those who give little, receive little. So networking is about engaging with people, getting involved, showing that you are willing and able to give to the group. If that sounds like you then you will receive customers through networking.
