Our Founders

How GRP Connections Became the Backbone of My Business Network.

Building a successful business isn’t just about having a great product or service - it’s about having the right connections. Through GRP, I’ve had the privilege of forging a network that has become one of my most powerful assets, driving growth, partnerships, and opportunities I never imagined possible. One of the biggest advantages of being part of GRP has been the strategic introductions to key players. These connections have led to collaborations that not only elevated my business but also expanded my reach into new markets. Whether it was a well-timed introduction to a potential partner or access to influential decision-makers, GRP ensured I was always in the right rooms with the right people.

Beyond introductions, GRP has provided me with exclusive invitations to high-caliber events. These events have been instrumental in strengthening existing relationships and forming new ones, often leading to opportunities that would have been difficult to access otherwise. Perhaps the most invaluable aspect of my GRP connections is how they have opened doors to networks both locally and nationwide. My business is no longer confined by geography - through GRP, I now have trusted contacts and partners across the country, making expansion and scaling much more seamless.

Today, my network isn’t just a list of names - it’s a thriving ecosystem of partnerships, collaborations, and growth. And it all started with the power of GRP connections.

Over the past four years, our partnership with GRP has been a cornerstone of our business brokerage firm's growth strategy. As one of their first clients, we've experienced firsthand the power of their expertise in generating high-quality opportunities and securing valuable clients. Their efforts have directly contributed to our success, with an impressive 30% of our client base now originating from GRP's initiatives.

GRP's impact extends beyond facilitating business sales. They've opened doors to new revenue streams, including Fractional FD consultancy services, business valuations, and broker recruitment opportunities. This diversification has significantly strengthened our market position and service offerings.

The black book of referral partners developed with GRP's assistance has supported our continuous business growth, showcasing the tangible results of our collaboration by achieving success on numerous business deals. Whilst this success requires time and investment, the returns have proven to be well worth the commitment.

Our relationship with GRP and their team is built on trust, professionalism, and consistent results. As we look to the future, we're excited to continue this fruitful partnership, recognising GRP's invaluable contribution to our growth and success in the competitive business brokerage industry.

I’ve known Gabriela and Ben for over five years, and their ability to connect businesses with the right people is second to none. GRP Connections takes networking, strategic partnerships, and event curation far beyond traditional approaches, transforming them into powerful business growth tools.

What sets them apart is their structured and strategic approach. They don’t just introduce you to new contacts, they ensure that every connection aligns with your business goals, whether that’s securing high-value partnerships, expanding into new markets, or refining your networking strategy. Their extensive ‘black book’ of connections and industry insights have been instrumental in opening doors that would have otherwise remained closed for us.

Beyond their expertise, Gabriela and Ben genuinely care about their clients’ success. Their personalised approach, attention to detail, and ability to match the right people with the right opportunities make them an invaluable resource. If you’re looking to elevate your networking, events, or partnership strategies with purpose and precision, GRP Connections is the team to trust.

I came into GRP in the first week of my new role. Having not been a networker before I didn't know what to expect. Yes, it was daunting, but I never felt out of place in the group.

Everyone was so welcoming and interested in my services and on a more personal level. As the weeks went on you start to form relationships with people from all different walks of life with experience in so many different fields. You open up about the difficulties you face in your own business and realise that you are not alone in how you are feeling. The 1-2-1 speedy sessions give you a chance to speak to most of the HUB members regularly and see how you can connect and help each other grow in business.

It opened up a huge network for myself that would normally take years to build. I would definitely recommend GRP to anyone in any stage of business!

I have been a member of GRP connections for over 16 months now and it’s added a great deal of value to my business. Gabs and Ben have created the perfect environment for business owners to collaborate, showcase their business, cross refer & introduce clients and help support business owners with the many common challenges they face. All done in a friendly and positive environment where everyone wants each other to win. I highly recommend anyone interested to come along to one of our group sessions and see for themselves just what can be achieved when like minded business people get together

GRP is such a strong business network to be part of for business generation, contacts and general business support. Gabs and Ben have incredible energy and enthusiasm for making powerful connections for members and are tireless in their mission to support us. There is a very genuine spirit that everyone wants success for all and it is a super friendly and kind community

In just six months of being part of The Hub, one of our members has seen an incredible 1500% return on investment from their membership. They've turned networking into real business growth by building relationships, seizing opportunities, and making valuable connections. This is exactly what The Hub is all about – creating a space where members can thrive and achieve tangible success.

Joining GRP Connections Hub has transformed my business in ways I never expected. I've found myself surrounded by entrepreneurs who just 'get it' - and that understanding has led to some incredible joint ventures and opportunities.

What really stands out is how naturally everything unfolds here. You know how some networking events can feel forced? This is different. I've built genuine friendships with people who've become my go-to suppliers. They understand my business inside out, which makes everything run so much smoother.

The Hub's referral network has been a game-changer. I'm not just receiving warm leads that convert - I'm also connecting other members with perfect-fit opportunities. It's amazing to see how one good introduction can spark something significant.

The best part? We're all genuinely invested in each other's success. When someone in the Hub hits a milestone, we all celebrate. When someone faces a hurdle, we rally around them. That kind of support is priceless.

If you're weighing up whether to join the GRP Connections Hub, I'd say this: it's more than networking - it's like having a business family. The returns have exceeded my investment tenfold, not just in revenue but in relationships that have enriched both my business and personal life.

Joining GRP Connections has been a revelation in how I approach business and managing the connections I make. Gabs, Ben and the team have helped me to realise that my network is my net worth, and ensuring I work on that is key to business success. In equal importance, GRP and the Hub have allowed me to connect to so many great people and create a business support network, somewhere to gain confidence and ask for help when needed. I’m looking forward to working with GRP for many years to come.

I’ve been part of GRP for close to a year now and have really found the group to be friendly and welcoming. Gabs and Ben were very welcoming and are genuine in their love of helping people connect. Having visited various networking groups beforehand, I chose GRP and haven’t regretted it. If you want to belong to a genuine, authentic group of people, you’ve come to the right place. This is a place of community as much as a place for business networking. Come join the family!!

Being a founding member of the GRP Hub has been an absolute game-changer. It’s connected me with like-minded businesses, expanded my network in ways I never imagined, and delivered massive financial gains. The success I’ve had here has been so strong that I felt confident in stepping away from three other networking groups—this one was simply delivering everything I needed and more. Strength in numbers has never been more evident, and the best part? We’re only just getting started. In five years, the GRP Hub will be an absolute powerhouse.

GRP connections is more than just networking and business generation - it’s a community of support, fun and connections on a human level. All the great things from every networking you’ve ever been to rolled into 1… plus some magic!

I have had the honour of attending 2 events while representing Gravita run by GRP Connections and hosted by the amazing Gabs! Attention to detail, amazing networking and each time a different first class venue both in London and Oxford. Each time I have come away with new, valuable and mutual beneficial connections. This is demonstrated with Gabs making an introduction for our firm to host an event on behalf of another company where we have found synergies and are able to make the event a collaborative experience with a tech audience. Gabs has made this connection as a result of her phenomenal attention to detail. Here is to one of many.

Growing your business through networking sounds easy, doesn't it? In reality, it's as simple as it is challenging. Cultivating strong and trusting connections takes time, patience, and authenticity. Not to mention the challenge of finding the right individuals to connect with. I often ask myself: Would I give up reading a bedtime story to my children to spend time with this person? In other words, do I genuinely enjoy their company? If the answer is no, then it's not a robust collaborative partnership you're fostering, but merely a transactional interaction. Such connections won't bring you happiness or sustainable growth.

This is where Gabs and GRP Connections truly shine. They possess an exceptional talent for bringing together people who simply 'click' - individuals who share the same values, mindset, and approach to growing their respective businesses. They make it appear effortless, but it's anything but. Their success is the result of years of hard work and dedication, investing time in meeting and nurturing connections with hundreds, if not thousands, of people.

This expertise was particularly evident when GRP Connections played a pivotal role in organising and hosting an exclusive event for my business. They brought together remarkable and genuine individuals who shared a vision of forging new, meaningful connections with people they genuinely liked! I cannot recommend GRP Connections highly enough if you're looking to expand your business through authentic and significant partnerships. They are, after all, the Grand Master Connectors!

Having recently immigrated to the UK with no local network to speak of, I have very quickly realised the power of immersing oneself in a network of like-minded people to get things done and lean on one another for business as well as personal support. This is especially true after taking my network back home for granted, given I grew up creating networks inadvertently through school, university and business relationships.

I was very fortunate to have been introduced to GRP Connections by a friend of mine and although I have only been a member of the network for two months, I have met some incredible individuals here. Furthermore, all the people I have met seem to be genuinely interested in helping others succeed – whether in business or other aspects of life. This is something that really resonates with me and I find it incredibly comforting to be surrounded by individuals who want to create meaningful relationships. After all, great business is built off great relationships.

Gabs, Ben and their team have created a wonderful network which I feel privileged to be a member of and I look forward to contributing as much as possible.

I had pretty high expectations going into my Strategic Partnerships Connections session because, let’s be honest, if you’ve ever met Gabs, you just know she’s on another level. But even with that, I was blown away. The prep she did before the call? Unreal. Even though I gave her some pretty chilled answers in the pre-meet questionnaire (my client details than myself), it felt like she already knew me - like, past life kind of energy.

The session itself was full-on (in the best way). We didn’t just talk fluff or surface-level stuff—it was action-packed. I used to think networking was just chucking names into my CRM and calling it a day. But now? I’ve got a legit strategy that’s actually aligned with what I’m building and I can even use it to help connect my clients with the right people too. Total game-changer.

I’m buzzing to get the notes back and turn them into the official Vybe checklist, which is only going to keep growing. Honestly, booking this in was one of the best decisions I’ve made. Q2, I’m coming for you.

Being part of GRP Connections has been an absolute game-changer for my business and professional growth. What sets GRP apart is their genuine focus on building real, lasting relationships-not just surface-level networking. It’s a community built on trust, support, and shared success.

Gabs and Ben are at the heart of it all. They’re not only incredible connectors but also deeply committed to helping each member thrive. Their energy, passion, and care in growing this business community is unmatched. They don’t just host events-they cultivate an environment where collaboration happens naturally and opportunities flow.

If you’re looking for more than just a networking group-if you want a true community that cares-GRP Connections is the place to be
