๐Ÿ”Œ Spotlight on Danny from DWS Electrical! โšก๏ฟฝThis morning at BNI Vista, we had the pleasure of hearing from Danny, who delivered an excellent 10-minute presentation about his work at DWS Electrical. ๐Ÿ‘จ๐Ÿปโ€๐Ÿ”ง

Dannyโ€™s passion for both domestic and commercial electrical work really came through. From full rewires to EV charger installations, his team covers it all โ€” always with a sharp eye for potential risks that others might miss. That attention to detail means safer homes, smarter businesses, and peace of mind for his clients. ๐Ÿ’ก

Whether you're looking for an electrician you can trust or want to learn more about the future of EV infrastructure, Danny's your guy. Great job today! ๐Ÿ”‹

๐ŸŒŸ Power of Networking in Action! ๐ŸŒŸ

This morning at our BNI meeting, we had a testimonial being passed to one of our amazing members, Alex from Blocklehurst & Sons. It's always inspiring to see the real impact of strong business relationships and trust in our group.

BNI isnโ€™t just about referrals โ€” itโ€™s about building a community where we celebrate each otherโ€™s wins, growth, and client success stories.

Proud to be part of a network where word-of-mouth truly works! ๐Ÿ’ผ๐Ÿค

Being specific with your referral requests is a proven and effective strategy.

There have been so many times where we have seen someone ask for a specific person and/or company, and then one of our members says โ€œI know them!โ€

Weโ€™ve got an incidence here however where 2 of our members asked for the same introduction, but to a business we do not know (yet) - Crown Estates & Lettings, based in Blackburn.

Glenn Wallis, our resident Conveyancing Solicitor, would like to speak to them about working together to help their clients with the legal requirements around buying and selling their property.

Jacob McHugh, our Gas Engineer, works with lettings agents as their go-to contact for all of their boiler servincing.

If you know the guys at Crown Estates, let us know!

A glowing testimonial given at our meeting year day, from our electrician, Lee, to our gas engineer and plumber, Jacob ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป

These two have started passing quite a few jobs between each other - which is what itโ€™s all about ๐Ÿซฑ๐Ÿผโ€๐Ÿซฒ๐Ÿฝ

Another impressive feature presentation from too. His business ProLek Electrical has been doing some great work on bespoke lighting and other electrical systems in new build homes - from design right through to installation.

He also spends a fair bit of time sorting out the mess left behind by some absolute cowboys โ€ฆ. Going cheap doesnโ€™t pay in this game, and can be highly dangerous; like the example he gave of some shoddy work that left a woman with her house burned to the ground ๐Ÿ˜”

If you need a reliable, highly qualified electrician to turn to - either personally or for business - connect with Lee and arrange to have a chat.

More than ever, businesses are giving thought and focus on what they can do in support of charitable causes. Whether thatโ€™s through their own altruism, or the rise and publicity of CSR causes, relationships and projects.

Here at Vista, we have a fantastic local charity, PAC - Positive Action in the Community who are represented by the one and only Leroy Philbrook Pac at our meetings each week.

PAC are a local registered charity with the vision to have a community that gives the greatest opportunity for a safe, fulfilled and aspirational life, free from, homelessness, domestic abuse and poor mental health.

To achieve this they deliver a number of projects, and have facilities for providing their services, in both Pendle and Rossendale.

They are looking for support from the local business community. From business owners and leaders who want to make a difference in the area in which they live and operate.

To find out more about how you could help, please contact Leroy at leroy.philbrook@p-a-c.org.uk

Not often the music round is the quizmaster (trying) to sing the songs themselves ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

Hereโ€™s Gary Spencer, or resident Utility Warehouse rep, showing off some of the fantastic things you could buy with your UW Cashback card! - earning yourself at least 1p per ยฃ1 spent off your next utilities bill!

Our members use their card and get discounts from their combined bills for Gas, Electric, Broadband, Mobile, Home Insurance - as well as the bundle discount for grouping those services together ๐Ÿ’ฐ

Testimonials are a great way of our members receiving recognition, and hereโ€™s one Gary received recently, from a referral made to a client of one of our team:

โ€œWe want to say thank you to Gary, who we got introduced to recently.

Gary spoke with us and explained how he could look at our bills for gas, electric, mobile, broadband, and others. We had seen our bills for these creep up over time, but hadnโ€™t looked to do anything about it - not knowing where to start.

Gary basically did all this for us, and by putting them all together weโ€™ve been able to save ยฃ150 per month. Weโ€™ve decided to redirect this saving towards our Mortgage, which has then reduced our mortgage term down too.

Gary is down to earth, not pushy and explains everything clearly. Weโ€™d definitely recommend speaking with him, to see if he can save you money.โ€

No cost to have a chat. Give him a shout!

Weโ€™ve got a few new members in our ranks, and this week Jack Fairburn scooped our best presentation prize. He remembered (got told by Tom ๐Ÿ˜…)the golden rule of a networking 60 seconds - ask for a specific introduction!

Jack and his business - JWF powerwashing & window cleaning service - are looking to increase their commercial window cleaning contracts, and would love to speak to the facilities manager at Time Technology Park, Simonstone, to speak with them about their window cleaning requirements and to provide a quote.

If you know the person for Jack to speak to, let him know, and if you could, make an introduction ๐Ÿ˜Š

Lee from ProLek Electrical won the presentation award last week, telling us about the great contract that heโ€™s just won, for work on a very large domestic project.

Heโ€™s on the lookout for Electricianโ€™s for this initial job - starting in a weeks time - lasting 4 weeks, as well as 3 future jobs of a similar nature in the near future.

If you are a fully qualified Electrician, with your own transport, and can read electrical drawings, Lee would love to have a chat with you.

Please contact him on either info@prolekelectrical.com or 07577 473555
