For not only giving us a home but for providing such great business resources that I have used whilst I've been here.

1. Fuzzy has to be at the top, she was my first ever experiment on working with people I didn't know. She did a fantastic job on my caricatures for me, I went back for more and she did it again. (more work for you coming soon)

2. Ray the big bad boss has a team of printers who have produced fantastic leaflets for me and given me good advice.

3. Danielle did a great SEO report for me advising me on the keywords I needed and it is now producing results, Thank You Danielle.

4. Chubs sold my wife a dog harness for the car, not only is it great quality but easy to put on and even my dog likes it.

5. Pete has produced some excellent high visibility cards that assist me in marketing services to schools.

6. The guys at Pixelcraze did an amazing job on some banners I wanted, truly sensational.

7. Kay is working on a postcard design for an important Microsoft event I'm holding in Cornwall in July.

8. I'm working with Simon at CPLtd to assist him in providing IT services to schools and businesses

9. many people have bought and are using scent diffusers and skinny dip candles from my wife's online shop

These people don't know it yet (ok they do now) but I will be using their services shortly.

Openmind, for hosting the website for my villa for rent in Florida and for purchasing the domain name I need.

PVC Pete for the business cards for that Villa.

I am also going to out out to tender a lot of work soon, no big documents to fill in but I am in the closing stages of going from 18 staff to 35 and there is a lot of work I will need doing to get this business running smoothly again and promoted after such a transformation.

Oh and my computer company up for a global award for my services in July. more details to follow.

If there is anyone I've missed remind me, I love all of you guys.

The skills and talents of all the members here are a credit to them all, I have so many people that I would like to work with please remember if you do a fantastic job for me and I then ask someone else to do something for me in your field I am not being mean to you, I'm trying to give everyone a chance.

There are now over 3000 members here, if we all just pick one in their particular industry and constantly promote them there is less value for others to stay. i.e share the work, give everyone a chance.

Thank You Ray for a great site, thank you everyone for being here.

Hi Andy - what a lovely post

I'm delighted you have found suppliers and contacts that benefit your business, it's the same for me too.

As for setting A1BF up, that is all I did - you the members make it what it is. Long may it continue

Well done with your expansion, and best of luck with the award nomination

Its great to mention this point Andy. It is nice to be able to give new ones the opportunity to shine. Everyone has to start somewhere. Hopefully new talent is discovered.
