The Member Toolkit
Don't just attend.
Follow up & follow through.
Every member gets a simple toolkit to keep follow-ups, actions and referrals in one place. It's not something to fill out at every event — it's a quiet companion that turns networking into real results, keeps you accountable, and makes referring other business owners second nature.
Follow-ups that stick
Capture the connections worth chasing and the actions worth taking — so conversations turn into outcomes, not forgotten notes.
Real accountability
Set your goals, track your progress, and stay honest with yourself. The toolkit keeps you moving between sessions.
Referrals made simple
A clear place to log who you can refer, who's referred you, and who you're yet to introduce — making the referral scheme effortless.
Every review,
a verified member.
"This network is really high energy and everyone I've met so far has so much enthusiasm to find out about and support one another's businesses. Thoroughly recommend."
"A sanctuary for business owners tired of the usual networking format. The breakout rooms work brilliantly and I come away feeling I've made genuine connections every session."
"Sam is brilliant at introducing the right businesses to each other. Since joining I've found people who have had a genuinely positive impact on my business. Highly recommend!"
"Joined GNG after struggling with traditional networking. Within two months I had three solid referrals that turned into real business. The WhatsApp community alone is worth the subscription."
"The workshops are genuinely impressive. Having an expert walk through my marketing strategy with input from other owners changed how I think about my business entirely."
"I've been in four networking groups over the years and this is the only one that felt like actual business growth rather than just exchanging cards. Sam's introductions are spot on every time."
"The in-person events are exceptional. Met at the Aston Martin reception and walked away with two clients and a supplier. You can't get that kind of ROI anywhere else for £40 a month."
"What sets this apart is the warmth. No cold pitching, no pressure — just business owners genuinely helping each other. The welcome I received in my first session made all the difference."
Meet the Founder
Sam Pennycook
Founder of Growth Network Group — the UK's highest-rated & fastest-growing online network for ambitious business owners.
"I built Growth Network Group because I failed my first 2 businesses. I failed them so badly, but I asked for help — and I built a company from nothing purely from networking."
