The Story So far...
Affinity Business Connections was originally created by Neil Muxlow as a result of his passion for helping people and their businesses. Based in Milton Keynes he was a big part of the local business community but there was a lack of continuity in local companies ‘thinking local’.
He soon realised that through the contacts he had built there was a great opportunity to help promote companies he had used and recommended to other like minded businesses. So Affinity Business Connections was born in February 2007.
After a few months of trading he connected with Mark Shaw, via a business networking website Ecademy. They soon realised that they had a lot in common and met in August 2007 to discuss potential synergies. It was a constructive meeting and both agreed to stay in contact which they did over the next few months.
In January 2008, Mark and Neil had various lengthy conversations about how their separate businesses were going, what was going well, what was going not so well. Mark had connected via Ecademy with another connector; Steven Basiden. Like Mark and Neil, he is a great introducer and very much on the same wavelength.
Then came ‘the light bulb moment’ from Mark….why are three great connectors working separately trying to establish contacts, when the collaboration of all three would create a formidable force, with them all pooling contacts, resources and energy.
So on February 8th 2008, it was agreed to bring all three under the Affinity Business Connections banner and join together.
