A structure which has existed throughout the world for around forty years and already present in the department, weaves its web a little more and, last week, the 10 members already active within the group welcomed their guests to present the concept.

We work in a network and are an organization of business professionals. This group has been created since October and already has 10 members. have embarked on this creation phase. To achieve our goal and be able to create the group, we need a minimum of 30 members.

A structure which brings together all trades: “Any main activity is welcome. Our philosophy is “Who gives, receives”. We have experience and we can therefore assure you that the BNI is a real accelerator of growth and therefore turnover for companies with a rapid return on investment This is the state of mind that BNI Members share. He who gives recommendations receives them himself. everyone gives and everyone receives. It is this philosophy which brings cohesion to the Group, constitutes a real driving force and implies a mode of operation based on solidarity, trust and mutual aid. In fact, trades who need other trades in their work therefore have the possibility of having the skills they are looking for, at hand, in the same network, a simplicity which appeals to entrepreneurs.
A first step for the creation of the group which remains available for any information directly on the BNI website, of which there already exist 25 groups in the Adour sector alone, of which Lourdes is a part. Interested people can also contact the consultant director at 0785843705 and participate in the meetings every Friday morning. Already, from January, the structure will meet at the Mercury Hotel, just opposite on the other bank of the Gave, due to lack of space, which bodes well for the future and continuation of this movement of dynamic entrepreneurs. .
