Business Network International Press Release

From Biker to business success

There are 3 significant dates in Colin Fribbens life – 1989, 2005 and 2009. As a biker he walked into a courier office and in true BNI fashion said ‘I need a referral – where am I going to deliver your next item?’ His lust for the open road on his Kawasaki made him a star delivery guy and it was not long before he was running the show.

After a 17-year apprenticeship with an owner who he deeply respected he formed his own courier company. And now, just 4 years later, the award of Best Small Business in Exeter Award 2009 is his latest award.   Each year the FSB hold these awards and they are a signal to great small businesses. Congratulations flooded into Colin’s office from customers and BNI members when the news broke.

“I aim to give a best same day service in the area. When I entered this competition I never dreamt that I had a chance of Gold. It goes to show that a little determination and a positive target gets results” said Colin. “Being a member of BNI has taught me a lot about presentation and business. Without my membership I would not have progressed so far and so fast” he went on to say. Perhaps members spotted his success earlier than the award as they made him Education guru. Every Thursday Rougemont Chapter welcome his individual style and comments. His motto could be “do not do as I say, do as I do”.
