Membership & Sponsorship

Membership brings many benefits:

  • Being part of a professional network, which helps build relationships and alliances.
  • Help, support and encouragement from your peers.
  • Opportunities for the exchange of business.
  • “In the Spotlight Interviews”, which help you get to know each other more quickly and in more depth.
  • “Advisory Boards”, held under Chatham House rules, which enable fellow members us to help, if you or your business are facing challenges.
  • A platform for raising your profile. Are you an expert in your field? If so, then you might like to make a presentation or offer a Refer-On ‘Mini Series’ of briefings/presentations to demonstrate both your knowledge and leadership.
  • NO referral slips, but an agenda that leads to “Let’s do Business”, a session designed to enable members to discover potential relationships, joint ventures and partnerships.

Is there anything we can do to help, please contact John Welburn on 07860 899091.

  • Testimonials

    Just to let you know we have heard this afternoon that the multi-billion £'s bid by Siemens was successful, so there is lots of celebrating going on in Bracknell. Keith Wootton (Kennetiq) and Anna Eden (Fusion Promotions) were highly (and hopefully profitably) involved and it all started with a call to The Direct Marketing Business asking for help on a PowerPoint presentation!
