BNI – Ireland’s Leading Business Networking and Referral Organisation

Looking to grow your Business?

Your business can grow faster than you can imagine.

Why?

Becoming part of BNI Ireland the largest referral network in the country, and in particular the Kerry Chapter, is proven to be the best and most cost effective way to get more clients and grow your business through referrals.

Where?

The BNI Kerry Chapter currently has a wide variety of business categories, and at this time of business and economic growth we are looking to expand our membership with a number of business categories currently open for applications.

Since the BNI Kerry Chapter started back in November 1999, its members have generated over €15.5 Million of business transacted between our members. Would you like a share in this business?

How?

BNI is not like other networking meetings where it is up to you to introduce yourself to strangers and attempt to sell your business and in a room with some of your competitors. Everyone is personally welcomed and introduced and given a dedicated opportunity to talk about their business.
BNI only permits one person per profession to join.

The philosophy of BNI is Givers Gain®, BNI’s core strength, is the structured approach to giving and gaining referrals. Each week our members bring genuine opportunities for work (or “referrals”) for each other.
Our members are the best sales team you’ll ever have.

When?

The best way to understand the BNI approach is to experience it for yourself. Why not visit a chapter this week and experience it for yourself. If you are interested in attending, please contact us and we will arrange a visit to a morning meeting. We now meet in person on the first and third Thursday of every month in the morning at the Centerpoint Training Centre in the 4Park Business Centre in Farranfore from 9am to 10.30am (with open networking beforehand from 8.45am), and then have online meetings every other Thursday morning in the month on Zoom from 7.00am to 8.30am. Open networking before all online meetings takes place from 6.30am to 7am and gives people a chance to chat and have discussions before the meeting itself. We also sit down to enjoy breakfast/brunch at The Warehouse Cafe after in person meetings, for additional open networking, if members & visitors wish to stay on.

Please contact Tony Dunne on 086 820 2832 or email tdunne@kingdommedia.ie for more details.

What our members say about BNI Kerry Chapter

  • Joining the BNI Kerry Chapter has been one of the best business and personal decisions I have made. Since I first attended a meeting as a visitor over 6 years ago I realised that this would be an ideal organisation and group to join to enable me to establish myself better locally in the business community and promote myself and my business. Not only do the members act as your own sales team promoting you, but they can find and refer you business through their established client base and contacts list. With over 6 years experience in the Chapter now, I have made some great friends as well and had access to all the business & personal development resources that the BNI has to offer. If you are interested in doing more business or better business, then I can highly recommend the BNI and specifically the BNI Kerry Chapter if you are a Kerry based business. They are the masters of the business referral networking!

  • I joined the Kerry BNI Chapter back in 2001, a year after I started my business in 2000 and I'm so grateful that I did. I've stayed in business and BNI since, and I consider the BNI Kerry Chapter a key component of our success and growth. It's a great way to get to know other business owners and also to hone your business skills. I highly recommend the BNI Kerry Chapter.

  • I have been very fortunate to have become a member of BNI Kerry Chapter in 2020 as the support, advice, knowledge, and business generated for me through the relationships built, has been a hugely important part of the success of my 1st venture into self employment. The positive environment, weekly accountability, and experience in the room from a diverse range of business professionals, has been a cornerstone of my journey to date, and I am very grateful for that. I wholeheartedly recommend anyone in business to come and visit our weekly meeting if you are currently looking to widen your network, and able to take on more business.

  • Joining the Kerry Chapter of BNI 12.5 years ago having just set up an environmental services company called Irish Drain Services was one of the best decisions I made. It is the morning meeting where I work on my business not in my business, and having a weekly meeting with similar minded companies who support each other. I recommend highly to come for a visit or indeed join the BNI Kerry Chapter.

  • Killorglin Community & Family Resource Centre were chosen as the charity for the BNI Kerry Chapter in August 2023 and in the time since then we have been supported in many ways. The members promote our services, get behind fundraisers and make links with people we otherwise might not come into contact with. BNI is a great way to get your business out there through others who are serious about their work.

  • I LOVE BNI. Why? Because it works! We’re not 1/2 way into 2024 yet and I have several referrals on the books - it’s brilliant! Good quality referrals from good quality people. I’ve also made some wonderful friends in BNI, people who are professionals in their fields; they present a wealth of knowledge, experience and expertise - happy to know them and do business with them every day.

  • I came into BNI without knowledge of what to expect. I was a nervous wreck but I was put at ease and now things come out easier without thinking. I'm glad I'm with BNI as it is really beneficial to my business and meeting new friends and contacts every week.

  • I’ve been a proud member of the BNI Kerry Chapter for the past three years, and it has genuinely been pivotal in the growth of my business. The camaraderie within the group is exceptional, you’re surrounded by driven, supportive professionals who truly want to help each other succeed. The quality of referrals from both members and visitors has been outstanding, consistently leading to meaningful conversations and real business opportunities. If you are looking to grow your business, expand your network and surround yourself with high-calibre professionals, I couldn’t recommend BNI Kerry highly enough.

A big part of our BNI Kerry Chapter is not on building relationships, bu also friendships. A great way to get to know members better is going on social events. We try to do regular social events of different types, and especially active ones. Some of our members recently did the South Kerry Greenway Kells stage from Goldens to the Kells Station. A lovely walk and well worth doing and seeing... and finished off nicely with some treats in Goldens! We're looking forward to visiting the Glenbeigh section of the Greenway in the near future too! ... See MoreSee Less
