S3 E8: It's a Long Game With Chris Budd

What if the best networking event you ever attended wasn't technically a networking event at all?
In this episode, Richard speaks to Chris Budd from CBHC Accountants about the communities he's built - not around PowerPoint and name badges, but around running shoes, shared values, and a genuine belief that patience is the best business development strategy there is.
Chris created the Runners Network - a lunchtime run open to anyone, starting and ending at Central Park Café - and the Golden Circle, a small, invitation-only group of business owners who share values and ambitions, and back each other up without the formality of BNI.
They also talk about CBHC's new concierge service, which takes a bespoke, personal approach to working with business owners - not just their year-end accounts. And about why an accountancy firm running a running club and a curated Golden Circle says a lot about what CBHC really is.
Fresh air. Good company. Free coffee. Leads that come when you stop chasing them.
If you want to join the Runners Network, just look out for it on LinkedIn and turn up. No fancy footwear required.
