Premier BNI - Leicester

29/09/2026

We had the absolute best last meeting on Friday for myself and Marian Powdrill on top table of our business group,. It was so much fun, there was a lot of love and support in the room! We had it all gifts, cards, wonderful comments and a standing ovation at the end! It felt wholesome and the whole thing was utterly surreal.

It’s just the best feeling to know we have become this real community who have grown together; we’ve added new, exciting businesses and getting stronger all the time meeting other great local businesses.

Everyone in the room is engaged, happy, having fun and making money (😂let’s face it that’s why we all did it in the first place 😂).

Nothing beats being part of a team that win together. I cannot wait to see what the new team do and we are cheerleading them all the way to gold🥇

Who wouldn’t want to be a part of growing their business this way?….

Look forward to our end of year meal celebrating tomorrow night with all the team 🙏 Sarah Salotti Rob Eberlein Harry Hartin Rod Stephenson Aanu Clement David-Olawade Alexandra Coleman Dave Reeves Dean Bailey Jay Webb Lewis Hickey Lucy Wiles Nayan Patel Nick Hannaford-Hill Sarah ChapmanThe Private Jeweler Bella Streames

We had great fun at our awards way back in December where everyone got an award wit a big dose of banter and everyone was a great sport!

3 members though got serious awards with Bella Streames picking up best theme due to her depressing Royal Albert Hall references aligning to critical illness etc and Aanu Clement David-Olawade our book writer and LinkedIn specialist received the award for best newcomer (now it feels like she’s an absolute part of the furniture!) and then Lewis Hickey, our graphic designer, won top table’s choice award for his support in BNI.

Worthy winners who finally got their physical awards 🤣🤣 ……we’ve been too busy growing each others businesses so patience was a virtue in this case but WELL DONE EVERYONE

if you want to come along and meet us all and see how we pass over £1.3 million a year then drop a heart in the comments or send a message

… she even does fun workshops and classes inter cabin or in your workplace! Here are some bouquets our members have ordered over the last few weeks….

We are grateful to have such a great business in the group offering personal service, stunning flowers and all with competitive prices to the people and businesses of Leicestershire.

We recently heard from Harry Hartin who’s an IFA.

He’s the pension person for trades. He believes that trades need advice because they don’t typically get this in their line of work.

He explained to over 30 businesses in the room that he loves helping sole traders plan for the future as tax efficiently as possible and how he’s an expert at finding old pensions.

Really great presentation with a difference to what we normally hear from IFAs.

If you’d like to come visit and meet us all and see how we’ve passed 💰 £1.3 million 💰 to each other in the last 12 months with a whopping ⚠️ 🙌🏻 £250k+ 💵 💴 in just the last month alone, please get in touch.

This wonderful lady Jay Webb is a pint-sized giant in the world of HR. Protecting businesses from losing profits or even worse. She deals with the biggest types of HR work such as Tupe transfers and the nastiest types too such as contentious tribunals, she does it all as an absolute expert!

Great presentation Jay and thank you for all you do to contribute to our businesses who pass £1.3 million in business referrals per year to each other.

If you’d like to come and visit and meet us in person please get in touch.

Well Marian didn’t want it to go unnoticed that she had reached the green points (finally I say!) and how it made her day that I had also missed top marks of 100 by 1 point.

She decided to point shame me with a beautifully wrapped gift of a 99 ice cream !!! 😂 Passing £1.3 million of business with more than £250k just last month - serious buisness with a large helping of banter …..

She even brought our Jay Webb a beret to wear for reaching the green with her. Her little good luck leprechaun I say 😂

Should’ve seen the faces on everyone when Marian Powdrill rocked up in this full fascinator before the joke clicked - priceless 😂😂

We had a day dedicated to the trades. Demonstrating how we can grow a tradies business so they are busy all year round and can grow a team if they wish to! If you’re a trade and want to stop chasing your next job, get in touch to come visit us and see how we are passing £1.3 million of business to each other in the Leicestershire business community.

Monday this week…..some of us ladies met at the Rock before meeting up for the bigger meeting.

We looked back on the previous 3 month goals we’d set and things we wanted to improve and we had nailed the whole lot, every target achieved!

What a team and what a way to drive business. Just under £1.3 million in 12 months and growing all the time.

Always looking for more local Leicester businesses to connect with who are looking for growth ….. just get in touch if you’d like to meet us all and see if we could work together on referrals

This is what last Friday morning at BNI Premier looked like 👇

We welcomed our newest member, Yasin from The Private Jeweler 💍all very exciting.

Funds raised at our recent Gala were handed over to our brilliant charity, Warning Zone 👏

There was a strong mindset theme running through the morning, with presentations from Simon at Breaking The Cycle and Steve Tempest. Positive attitude goes a long way, pause at the door, take a breath, reset, whatever the day brings. And don’t let limits hold you back… aim higher 🚀

Richard from JD Wills and Estates delivered the 10-minute presentation, sharing his relaxed, friendly approach to what can often be sensitive conversations, meeting clients in their own homes, where they feel most comfortable.

And to top it off… The power team Flashy & Classy won the year-long Boat Race challenge, rowing miles ahead to claim their team night out 🏆

Roll on Friday 🙌
