"As someone at the very beginning of the road to starting a business, Eclub has provided me with the ideal environment for learning and understanding how to create a business that grows whilst giving you more life. The relationships I have developed and the community spirit within Eclub & EBEN continue to make that learning process an exciting and thoroughly enjoyable experience. Eclub presents an exciting prospect for SME's regardless of their sector, size or location."

“As founder/ director of NATURE Presents... and an active entrepreneur having varied interests, I am an active networker. I first went to the Eclub connect meeting expecting it to be like any other networking evening. The people at FranklinWaugh, who has taken the initiative of forming Eclub & EBEN, had an idea which was far more deeply rooted – the idea was to build a community which in itself was something extremely powerful. There were no get rich or other usual promises, no short cuts to building a community because it is not possible to do so and hence right from the first meeting, it was made clear, to succeed it would take time to make it more effective. Over a period of approx. 6~7 months, I am meeting people with whom I feel more comfortable, more trust has been built over time & I am in the process of forming associations with a few to develop our individual businesses while at the same time, developing both Eclub & EBEN. I am totally committed to their growth.”

"Eclub & EBEN have been a revelation! I never thought a community in business existed. Oh yes we all talk about “the business community” – it’s not really community in the true sense of the word. EClub & EBEN are an authentic community of like-minded business people who believe in, and support each other. At Abandon Theatre our mindset has changed; we realise the colossal impact true community has on business growth and Eclub & EBEN is that community."

"Ki-Rin is an agency that supports SMEs in the area of CSR, it empowers charities to be more effective. These objectives help to make a positive difference to disadvantaged communities across the UK and in the developing world. Much of the marketing for the agency is managed through word of mouth, recommendations from previous clients, and through the development of new relationships. Eclub & EBEN essentially provided this platform. What struck us most was the passion and dedication displayed by the FranklinWaugh team, how they walked the talk in demonstrating their commitment to supporting the development of the SME community, encouraging partnerships based on mutual trust, shared values and common goals. New partnerships have brought new opportunities, innovation and a much broader network of prospects, thanks to FranklinWaugh. We are honoured to be members and share FranklinWaugh’s excitement about developing a global presence for Eclub & EBEN.”

"With a fascinating mix of different businesses and great networking opportunities in just over a year FranklinWaugh have created a well structured Entrepreneurial Business Exchange Network that is pro-active to the needs of our business community. It is professionally run and yet not too formal, and we are delighted to be associated with it"

The moment I met Warren from E-Club, I could relate to the seriousness and focus that Eclub has towards the growth of the business and the individuals involved in the business. I am a member of many a Chambers of Commerce and Business Centres, but none has proved to me, even one session worth than what Eclub does. I am happy I am being guided through these uncertain times by a group of mentors I can rely on for advice and support.

"Experienced networkers and tentative novices are made to feel equally at home in EClub. It is more of a community than a network. The members are interested in you as a person first and foremost, and not simply what you’re selling. Within a short period of time, I have not simply made business contacts, but good friends and trusted strategic partners. If you’ve never really taken to networking, it might just convert you!"
