WHAT’S MAKES IT DIFFERENT TO OTHER BUSINESS NETWORKING GROUPS ALREADY AVAILABLE IN THE UK? Inviting a client or partner for a game of golf presents you with an ideal chance to get to spend some quality time, away from the office, devoid of shirt and tie and allowing the focus to be on the game at hand as much as any ulterior business motive. It’s a way of forging strong relationships based upon more than just work; but upon a shared sense of camaraderie and fun. After all, what better way to spend a working afternoon than out in the fresh air, striding along the fairways and test yourself on the greens in the company of like-minded individuals? Each member of “FORE” Business is also entitled to a FREE 4-ball once a month; so its not just about the monthly get together. Members can entertain their clients or prospects and gain real value from their membership by just doing that. When we launched “FORE” Business, its also fair to say, that we did not expect to see our members sharing their 4-ball spaces with other members all over the UK. Our members now have a platform and excuse to build relationships with all other members over the UK. So it’s no longer about localised networking but building relationships on a national basis and soon international basis – watch this space! HOW MANY GROUPS ARE THERE AND WHERE? We currently have 40 in place from Plymouth to Norwich. The majority of the groups are currently operating in the south. We are growing at an extremely fast pace and we expect to have a further 20 in this year taking us to 60 throughout the whole of the UK. You can find out where your local group is at : www.fore-business.com/our-golf-groups. WHAT’S THE FORMAT? “FORE” Business isn’t like the business networks of old, we operate a relaxed environment that allows longstanding members and newcomers to the group to present, understand and identify new business relationships. • Usually a 7:30 start at the clubhouse • Meet & greet • Breakfast and coffee • Networking • 60 second introductions •  ff to the course to play your round with your fourball O • Trophies and further networking HOW MUCH DOES IT COST?
