A BUSINESS and professional networking organisation with nearly 2,000 "chapters" is launching a Kidderminster group.

The new Kidderminster and Worcester Business Networking International (BNI) groups were due to be launched today at the Swan Theatre, Worcester.

The main aim of BNI groups is to exchange business referrals and with more than 1,850 chapters in operation in the world and the generation of over £303 million worth of business, the firm claims to be the most successful organisation of its type globally.

The launch of the new group follows the success of a BNI group launched earlier in Worcester.
