At TN Recruits, we believe strong businesses are built through strong relationships. That belief sits at the heart of our involvement with BNI Tunbridge Wells — a local business network built on trust, referrals, accountability, and mutual support.
Our Managing Director, Neil Simmons, is proud to serve as Chairman of BNI Tunbridge Wells, supporting a dynamic group of local business owners and professionals who are committed to helping one another grow.
For TN Recruits, BNI is more than a networking group. It is a powerful example of local businesses working together, sharing opportunities, building confidence, and strengthening the wider Tunbridge Wells business community.
Why BNI Matters
BNI is built on a simple principle: businesses supporting each other through trusted referrals. Rather than simply exchanging business cards, members take the time to understand one another’s services, clients, values, and goals — creating meaningful introductions that can lead to real business growth.
As Neil recently shared, BNI Tunbridge Wells has 32 members and has passed £1.3 million worth of business in the last 12 months, giving an average seat value of more than £40,000 per year when members engage fully with the process.
BNI UK describes its network as a proven referral marketing system that helps local businesses grow through trusted relationships, structured weekly meetings, and a community of like-minded professionals.
As Chairman of BNI Tunbridge Wells, Neil plays an active role in supporting the group, encouraging collaboration, and helping create a welcoming, productive environment for members and visitors.
His involvement reflects the same relationship-led approach that underpins TN Recruits: listening first, building trust, making meaningful introductions, and supporting long-term success.
Through BNI, Neil continues to champion local business owners, helping them connect with the right people, share opportunities, and build referral partnerships that extend well beyond a weekly meeting.
