The Business Generation Group Grimsby (BGG Gy) originated approximately five years ago. The Founder Members were Ray Pearson, Carol and Steve Goodman, and Alan Kaye. The idea was to have a central meeting place where like-minded business people could meet and through networking increase their business potential. The Group has now expanded to almost thirty members with only one of each type of business allowed to be a member at any one time. We meet every Friday morning at the Innovation Centre on the Europa Park at 7.30 a.m. for coffee, networking and full English breakfast (provided by Sage Catering one of our members) - a great way to start the day and weekend. We are a self funding group and all profits are used as a benefit to all in the group. We support a nominated Charity which at the moment is St. Andrew's Hospice, Mike Gresham the Hospice Fundraiser is an Honorary Member of the Group. Committee Meetings are held on a regular basis and all group members are also committee members so any changes of policies are agreed by all. An AGM is held annually with the Election of Officers. Apart from the benefits of business we also hold social events which have included Christmas Dinner/Dance, Go Kart Racing, Motocross, and a Brewery Trip. Potential new members are invited in the first instance as a non paying guest with an invite to return again if they wish to consider joining. This group is an excellent way of developing not only your own business but allowing you to benefit from the services of the other group members while gaining lasting friendships. |
