Your Business Referral & Networking Group in Sydney
We believe that we are stronger and better together...

How Our Inner West Networking Group Can Help Your Business
We are stronger together than we are as individuals.
The most powerful marketing tool of all is a personal referral from someone we know and whose opinion we trust. This form of personal referral trumps all other types of marketing communication and is the basis of our Sydney networking group Inner West Referrals (IWR).
There are many sole traders, freelancers and small to medium business operating throughout the inner west, and IWR provides an opportunity for them to get together locally.
We meet every second week with the view to getting to know and understand what we can do for each other and refer on our networks where appropriate. Whilst we meet for a commercial purpose, there is no pressure or obligation of any sort.

About us
Inner West Referrals evolved out of a commercially run business networking group in 2011. We meet fortnightly at 7.15am, and aim to be finished by 8.30am so as not to intrude on the day.

Members
We have a stable member base of around 20, with new and varied members joining all the time. Members enjoy networking over breakfast and each other’s company every second Thursday.

Join now
Membership fees are very affordable and payable in advance at the end of each quarter. Membership includes a complimentary breakfast and hot beverage of your choice each fortnight.

I am an Architect focused on sustainable architecture. I have a strong knowledge of constraints and opportunities in a variety of project typologies ranging from residential, to commercial and community projects.
I find each brief is an opportunity to apply my architectural skills, creativity and sustainable innovations to solve my client’s design problems. Good design is responsive to the sustainability of the community. It delivers a humanistic solution that integrates commercial imperatives and social objectives

The practice of Strategy, Marketing and business improvement is full of cliches, jargon, and complication that often does little to reflect the problems and needs of customers.
For 35 years I have been untangling these complications, simplifying their expression into programs that connect with and engage customers, and improve the processes and capabilities of enterprises across the private and public sectors.
I do this in a range of ways from mentoring individuals, managing specific programs, defining and addressing specific problems, to contract general management, and generally sharing the wisdom of the years and depth of experience.
I can do it for you.
Have a look at my StrategyAudit blog, for a taste of the things I think about, and what I think about them.

I’m in the business of making sure that your home, and office, not only look good but smells great too. I can provide you with the world’s finest fragranced candles and accessories, and flameless fragrance options too. But more fun than buying is to have your own fragrance expo, where I’ll come to you and your guests. Together we’ll have some hands on fun, you’ll learn about blending fragrance to create your own signature fragrance, and you’ll be rewarded with some free gifts from me.
I work with the Australian owned and made Glow Collection candles and home fragrance, which also gives you exclusive access to the famous USA PartyLite products.

Since 2000, Ann Eyres has been practising clinical and medical hypnotherapy from her business based in Croydon. Ann has successfully helped people with a wide range of problems including anxiety and panic attacks, fears and phobias, weight loss and to quit smoking. Hypnotherapy is a medically recognised practise, which removes the original feeling to an incident thereby defusing the intensity of the developed problem. In doing this, the symptoms are resolved, the feelings settle, and life can take on a new meaning. Habits and behaviours can be changed, reduced or completely stopped and then physical and emotional health can improve.
Hypnotherapy is a safe and effective therapy where you are always in control and results happen quickly, so please, come and find out for yourself.

Testimonials

Julian Day
IWR is the place to meet great people and create business through their networks. It’s simple; enjoy a scrumptious breakfast and trade names and contacts to the benefit of all. You’ll soon find you’ve made some lifetime friends as well.

Claire Hones
I had never been a member of a networking group before joining IWR. 3 years later and I am still enjoying the many benefits which include the support, camaraderie, and the benefit of business referrals. I know I would not have been able to grow my business if it wasn’t for being a member of a well-supported group.

Robert Crowe
I have been a member of IWR for more than two years and have made some valuable connections throughout the Inner West business community through its members and their broader networks. The meeting location is great and convenient and is a great way to mix with business owners and expand the reach of any business.
