Based on Gerrards Cross, Cross Reference is one of the most prolific South Bucks business networking groups, and it's all based around bacon and eggs each Friday. Its membership straddles a broad spectrum of products, services and disciplines, from mobile phones to driver training and company law to expert witness.

In fact, it's a colourful menu of well established talents, techniques and experiences providing a benchmark for the best in local businesses you could probably find anywhere in the UK.

Cross Reference chairman, James Torr of Elrond Consulting, says: "We are a cheerful, friendly group who, as you would expect, treat business and networking very seriously. In many ways we are unique in what we can and do provide for ourselves and other businesses in the area and, indeed, sometimes much further afield too.

"We are all extremely professional in how we operate and the way we administer our multifarious expertises. One thing our clients and customers are assured of is the highest possible attention to detail because we all uphold identical levels of satisfaction and commitment to doing our very best."

Networking is a skill that needs careful development and practice. So Cross Reference members meet for a 7.15 breakfast every Friday morning at the Bull Hotel in Gerrards Cross. This provides an invaluable platform to discuss, debate and endorse current successes and pave the way, through referrals and testimonials, for future contacts and business development.

Bill Jones, of management consultants Postillion, explains: " Cross Reference is all about increasing sales and business contacts and broadening our scope. Each week our breakfast sessions produce a high level of positive, business referrals that members then take away and, hopefully, turn in good solid business.

"Not only do our own businesses benefit from the process but those of our colleagues do as well. Indeed, we each have a portfolio of local business which we feel confident about recommending to others."

Cross Reference has a special visitors breakfast on 14 May so please ring Andrew Leech 01753 884216 for further details.
