July was a great month for referrals. We had over 74 internal referrals within the Club and 46 External referrals (businesses referred to club members). If the value of a referral is about $1,000, then it is over $100,000 of businesses referred. The third place went to Simon Lowing from HB Finannce, runner up was Will Hennessy from Lume Electrical and the winner was Marcus Lusty from Splash Bathrooms with 8 internal and 4 external. Great work Marcus.
