A business force to be reckoned with
Taking just one high-calibre member from each profession or trade, the aim of attracting some of the best people in their fields continues to be realised, according to chair Danny Askew.
The Kendal-based business director said InGroup’s remarkable growth and success was easy to plot, based on a combined passion for cutting-edge service, quality, best possible results and maximising opportunities.
He added: “We celebrate being local and operating in the heart of our community. However, many members have national, even international clients, so the scope of what we do and how we do it is enormous.
“With a strong sense of camaraderie, trust and shared commitment, members pass work to each other, knowing each and every job will be expertly handled. Our people are well-connected and extensive commissions keep coming our way.”
Meeting every Friday for a breakfast gathering at Kendal Freemasons Hall, members pass work referrals round the table and tally up invoiced work for the week. The biggest single seven-day total was over £74,000.
Fees
The membership fee is non-refundable following successful application. There are two fees… 1) an annual membership fee and 2) a weekly/monthly ‘housekeeping’ payment that covers breakfast, venue and group expenses. The group accounts will be discussed every two months in order to decide how the funds should be spent or donated. The funds are solely within the control of the group. The group is not looking to make profit, but to support the growth of the group and to support the community.
- Membership Fees: £60 a month which includes breakfast and meeting room expenses.
