Testimonials
I wanted to share a quick review of my experience with Birmingham Professionals. Joining this network has been a game changer for us, especially in these first few months. Posting articles on their platform not only boosted our visibility but directly resulted in landing a significant new client. The onboarding process was smooth and effective, thanks to Chris and James. Their guidance, coupled with the comprehensive user guide and informative videos, made it easy for us to get up to speed and start making connections right away. The ability to network with numerous like-minded professionals has been incredibly valuable. Birmingham Professionals has made it possible for us to reach a wide audience, fostering connections that are key to our ongoing success; we have spoken to several business coaches and found their advice invaluable. Thanks to the entire team for their support and for providing a great platform that truly connects professionals across different industries. Cheers - Adrian
I came across Professionals UK when looking for a training provider for a team away day. The process was really easy and we got a fantastic training provider who delivered an excellent session. Professionals UK also followed up to see how the day went and how we had found the process/training provider we had chosen. Would definitely consider it again.
I was introduced to Chris Garner of Professionals UK in August 2020, when I discussed with him the intricacies and functionality of working with Professionals UK. After speaking extensively with Chris, we decided to take up his option of locating Catax in the top spot on the Professional UK portal, which grants us the highest form of communication to over 30,000 members and a further 30,000 visitors.
We have been able to comprehensively utilise the platform to our advantage to network with new potential clients and professional individuals, completely changing our usual networking strategy for the better, which has resulted in a nett saving in our networking budget.
The platform is very simple to use, with specific industry categories listed clearly, enabling the finding of targeted individuals at ease. We have also found that unlike many well-known social media platforms, the response rate from people is extremely high and positive.
All in all, Professionals UK has been highly beneficial to our business activities and we are looking forward in seeing what it can bring in the future.
Thank you to Chris Garner and the Professionals UK team for their stoic support introducing us to the platform functionality, and for giving us such a rewarding personal experience.
I joined UK professionals half a year ago and developed a network of 278 quality contacts. The interaction and response rate from other members to my messages have been very high, thanks to the continues guidance and support of Henry and his team.
Professionals UK has proved a valuable networking group, which enabled me and my company to be focused on specific target groups. The database is massive, but we can segment or send mass communications around the world. They have been helpful guiding us through the processes and we have already found strong professionals to build business alliances around the world.
Professionals Network endorsement
The Professionals Network has supported our practice in identifying potential clients that have an identified need within their business to improve or refine their management of health and safety.
As a result of the referrals from the Network, we have secured the following pieces of work:
£5m Construction project in Liverpool city centre with a consultancy value of £16,000 over a yearlong project.
This single project has led to the commission of a further two projects for the same client with a combined build value of £38m and a consultancy value of £80,000 over a two-year cycle.
A second client who was initially referred to complete an audit on their existing health and safety management system (value £3,000) has gone on to commission a further secured service of £6,000 per annum for competent person.
A third client within the construction industry has just signed an agreement for two services offered by our consultancy business with a combined total of £20,000 per annum.
I would highly recommend the Professionals Network to business professionals who are seeking highly qualified leads.
James and his team have always placed speed of information and quality of service at the top of their business model, which allows us to focus on winning work from pre-qualified leads.
70 replies & contacts plus 12 enquiries in the first month!
Since joining Professionals UK, a very high number of valuable contacts and prospects have been developed. There have been 70+ replies from my messages in just a month! The updated messaging service is very efficient, easy to use and excellent for reaching many high value contacts quickly. In addition, there have been 12 relevant enquiries forwarded to us in the first month too and a high amount of incoming traffic on my profile to follow up on.
The registration process was smooth as well. A great start!
We've been using the Professionals UK platform for just over six months and it's been the best platform investment we have made all year!
Unlike other Professional networking sites there are no restrictions on the volume of outreach that is permissible, and no hidden costs
Not to mention the Professionals UK team are always on hand to support with the promotion of our networking events.
Delighted to say that it has already accounted for 10x the initial investment.. and we're just getting started.
I have been using the Professionals UK platform for less than a year. During this time I forged not only a couple of strong strategic relationships with estate agents and mortgage brokers on the platform but also gained two clients in both business finance and property finance. On the technical side, the platform is easy to use though what’s worth even more is that members are generally open to connect. Due to my regular postings I am approached by exactly those contacts who are most valuable to my business and who I am in the best position to assist. I look forward to continuing my membership with Professionals UK.
I have been a member of Manchester Professionals for over 8 years now, to promote and grow my voice and speech coaching business alongside my continued career as a professional actor. I have taken an occasional break from membership but have always returned, and the reasons for this are simple.
Firstly, James is so helpful and supportive in his advice on how best to utilise the platform to get the most out of it. Working in two separate professions concurrently means that I haven’t always put much time or effort into applying those suggestions; so the amount of enquiries and clients I have gained purely through having a presence on the site proves to me the value of being a member. For me, as a self-employed sole trader, it is great to be supported and promoted by Manchester Professionals.
My name is Peter Messervy, (Opus Magnum) business mentor and coach. I have been a member of London Professionals for 3 years and enjoyed a large number of contacts and introductions. Some of these have become very valued clients.
I have found James Garner to be most helpful and supportive. My questions are always answered quickly and the support is comprehensive. There are a number of opportunities and tools that help me develop new business.
I highly recommend Professionals UK to a small business owner.
I have been using Professionals UK for a couple of months now and I must say I am very impressed with the setup and the quality of contacts I have made since using it. The actual website is very easy to use and I have already got new business from fellow Professionals UK members which will pay for the cost of the platform. I would highly recommend Professionals UK to anyone who is looking to expand their network and grow their business
I joined Professionals UK in September 2021 after meeting Henry Nagel, who made the onboarding process as straightforward and as tailored to my circumstances as possible. Henry demonstrated the platform for me before I signed up and answered my questions in a very professional and understanding manner.
The platform itself is user-friendly and easy to navigate, which is helpful for busy professionals (hence, the name of the platform).
I have been fortunate enough to make some incredible contacts through Professionals UK, including in the provision of employee benefits (which is a key consideration in my role) and members of trade associations.
Henry and the team have been very considerate and helpful, keeping in touch with me regularly to see what they can do to help me grow my network and take full advantage of opportunities. As I have recently been experimenting with the styles of content that I have been using, the team have been working to accommodate this, as they are always keen to help their users wherever possible.
My best client!
I am so pleased that my membership of Professionals UK has been so worthwhile, as I have been approached by some great Companies interested in working with me!
But it is especially rewarding to now work with my best client to date, which came to me through Cheshire Professionals and Professionals UK. They have taken out my ‘retainer services’ and are a great and growing creative Company, where I can really add value on a monthly basis. Not only through the retainer services but also by creating and helping with various improvements and projects which range from creating bespoke Contracts and comprehensive Company Handbook, through to creating and implementing their first appraisal system and reward structure … right to L & D Training and development work!
I thoroughly enjoy working with them on a monthly basis and together we are making a real difference to the success of the Company and growing their talent and employee engagement, even though they only have less than 20 employees they are really embracing just what good experienced HR Consultation services can provide to their ‘bottom line’!
I have been using the London Professionals for less than a year and have found it very good for making referral connections. Contacts I have made with wealth managers and mortgage brokers have been very helpful for introducing to my clients to exploring the options they have on getting a mortgage/remortgage – which is very useful now with the volatility of interest rate rises. I will continue to pass my clients on to them.
I have also been able to sign up clients directly as London Professionals offers two ways to find them – one from members indicating they are interested in accountancy support and the other from direct leads that are passed on to me by the London office team.
Their search on line took them to your site through its high Google ranking, and through the details on my profile they were able to establish that i had the experience and qualifications relevant to their business needs.
As a result of the information available on the site they were happy with the fit with their needs so we could quickly move forward to an initial free no obligation meeting, which i offer to all potential clients to discuss their requirements. I then submitted a written proposal which has been accepted.
I will now be working with the directors on a initial 5 day project to assess the business and develop a strategy for its development. There is then the potential for an ongoing relationship as a non executive director to assist with the implementation of the strategy.
Clear the site is attracting potential clients in the Manchester area and I look forward to reporting further success stories in near future.
This was from a completely New Client, I have built an excellent rapport with in a small amount of time and I’m very excited to continue working with this professional in the future.
Being an independent consultant can be somewhat challenging gaining the trust of others and proving a real competence to someone you may have never met or worked with before. I am able to truly express and show my value and my passion through my work and that's what I do its very natural to me. Reassuring you of my trust and professionalism.
My New Client is very happy and satisfied with the Concierge Service I provided this is always a pleasure however to gain a New Client that will now stay with me for the foreseeable future is my Goal. The Testimonial will be shared on my page for anyone who wants to take a look.
Since becoming a member of London Professionals over 8 weeks ago I have received an overwhelming amount of interest, views and messages and I just wanted to say Thank You to you all and I hope to be working with you in the near future too.
You are linking with several hundred like minded professionals who want to connect and do business but with the freedom to do it when it suits you or when you have an unexpected few minutes to spare. You don’t need to get up early for that breakfast meeting at 6am or interrupt your evening with another networking event.
Since joining in July 20, less than a month, I have linked with several like minded business owners, via Zoom link and telephone and made some very useful connections. I now have more referral partners and introducers for my business.
The systems are easy to use, you get great response levels, I have had close to 100 so far and have access to loads of interesting articles and newsletters and its simple to post your own.
We would like to thank Professionals UK, Crown Clinic, FUE and of course our very own team for the memories that were made!!
