SFN Managing Director Kelly Bunyan said: "Our members know that good networking isn't a quick, shallow thing. True relationships take time to build and effort from both sides to become strong and rewarding. What's great to see is that our members take time to welcome new agents to the group, and to stay connected with the current ones. They prioritise the annual meetings to meet in person, and actively seek ways to utilise the network. Such proactive and positive efforts reap rewards; so many of our members are working together long term, for mutual gain."
