BNI Cookson

BNI Cookson Based in South Tyneside, we work in a professional but fun environment and meet every Friday morning What is BNI Cookson? What can BNI do for your business?

BNI Cookson is a business referral networking group based in South Tyneside that began in 2005, it has generated record breaking amounts of money for its members since it began. In the 2015-16 term its members shared £1.1m and in the 2016-17 term the members generated over £1.3m. BNI only allows one professional or trade category per chapter, that means for example if you join the chapter as an ac

countant, you will remain the sole accountant for that chapter. BNI Cookson is part of the larger BNI Northumbria which has 9 chapters as of 2017 and BNI Northumbria is part of the larger BNI UK, which is part of the BNI International. BNI was founded by Dr Ivan Misner over 30 years ago in America and now has chapters in over 70 countries worldwide. Belonging to BNI is like having dozens of sales people working for you because all the other members carry copies of your card with them. When they meet someone new that could use your products or services they hand out your card and personally recommend your services.
