What is expected of Members?

As a full BRE member, your company is expected to attend every breakfast meeting throughout the year or, in your absence, ensure that you are represented. Representatives can come from within the company or outside, as long as they do not compete with other members of the Group.

All members are encouraged to bring visitors as often as possible as the interaction with new people creates new opportunities for all – visitors and members alike!

You are not placed under pressure to provide referrals every week – we are keen to ensure that the quality of referrals passed is high. You will find that, over time, your ability to generate referrals improves as other members get to know you and your business and vice versa. BRE training will also help you to develop this skill. All we ask is that you come to meetings with a positive and proactive attitude to support fellow members and look for opportunities for each other.

The cost of membership is split into 3 areas:
