Tony is one of the most generous people in business - sharing his time and knowledge. He is a connector. If you are trying to grow your business, Tony will put you in contact with all the right people at all the right time.
I joined The Business Culture Hull and haven't looked back. Tony makes this group exceptional. It's not a standard networking group. Nor is it a marketing group. The Business Culture Hull is a group with a difference. You have to be in it to experience it.
Tony knows people. Tony knows his stuff. Tony makes a personal pledge to help you - and keeps every bit of his promise. Unfailing in his support, he will help you - whatever stage your business is at. He makes it 'all about the people.' And it pays off. If you need an introduction, a referral, a business connection or a sounding board: look no further. Tony is THE man!

Hi to everyone in my network, I just wanted to take a few moments to send out a message of thanks to Tony Bowler of The Business Culture. Despite having been to Hell and back on the COVID-19 Express, he has come out of the long tunnel, and the light at the end is now shining brightly.
The business support, mentoring, connections, friendship and everything in between which comes with the membership of this fantastic group will be a massive positive in a year filled with negative. I cannot recommend another group more highly.
Thanks, Tony and thanks to The Business Culture Hull. If you're not already a member, you need to ask yourself why.

I love the whole ethos of what Tony and Michelle have created with the focus on building your business and connecting with other businesses. It has certainly worked for me and my business. I particularly enjoy and benefit from my Round Table Group.
As a freelance, it's great to share ideas and get support from other businesses and each month we get to know each other more so it's 2 hours very well spent. The mentoring and learning from the larger members events are also very good. I am building a vast network of suppliers and even clients which has been a real bonus!
I would undoubtedly recommend membership to other businesses, both large and small.

I have been a member of the Business Culture Hull since the very beginning. I love the relaxed nature of the events, and Tony works hard to encourage us all to meet up and form business connections.
I regularly meet new business contacts through the Business Culture, which has resulted in some fantastic work being done between us.
It certainly puts a smile on your face when you receive one of Tony's emails copying you in with a new business contact saying you both need to get together to discuss how you can work together! Cannot recommend the Business Culture highly enough.

I've known Tony Bowler for many years - I always knew he was a business connector in his various professional roles before The Business Culture Hull, but now that this is his primary concern, his skills, competence and passion for putting people together really shine through.
Tony is a man of his word, if he says it will happen - it definitely will. I find Tony to be astute, courteous, patient and extremely enthusiastic about helping other people grow their networks and make meaningful connections. Tony's networking events are next level - a very fresh approach, and it seems that every event gets better, more innovative and, more to the point - useful!
I have no hesitation in recommending Tony to any of my colleagues, associates and friends. He's a genuine business person.

Wow. Absolutely blown away at the level of professionalism, energy and warmth of The Business Culture Hull. I was asked to be their keynote speaker, and from the moment I arrived, I could feel an exciting buzz amongst their members.
People who had never met before engaging in conversation, swapping numbers and emails. People who knew each other going above and beyond. It was fantastically wonderful to watch. One thing that particularly stood out was how inclusive Tony and Michelle were.
There must have been over 150 people there, and Tony and Michelle were on a first-name basis with everyone. The event hugely inspired me, never mind the other way round.
I would highly recommend The Business Culture Hull, and I think all of their members would agree too.

I speak at many events and for some large corporates too but rarely do I speak at networking events. I did so yesterday and was so impressed.
What a phenomenal event.
Congratulations on what you’ve built. I don’t tend to speak or even attend networking events but of the ones that I have yours is the best and most professionally organised. The number of people you got in the room is testimony to that.
If you're based in Hull, I can strongly recommend you join The Business Culture Hull. It's vibrant, professionally organised and, arguably more critical runs with a purpose and vision in mind.
In two words, collaboration and community.
Wishing you continued success Tony and Michelle.

Tonys ethos in business has always been around building relationships. In that, if you get to know the person behind the business, you can help businesses thrive.
I have known Tony for several years as a business colleague and friend, and I can certainly vouch for all of the above being true.
As part of the business culture membership, Tony makes himself available for 121 support, which I think all of us in the roller coaster of business needs at some time.
Up until recently, I have been a solopreneur, which can at times be a lonely place to be, a place where I can justify anything, I want inside my own mind.
Tony has always freely made himself available to give me 121 support when I've reached out to him. Simply having someone else to either bounce ideas off, or to problem-solve with has helped, not just as a shoulder of support, but also to make the necessary decisions to help me achieve my business goals.

Speaking at the Business Culture in Hull was a fantastic experience, and the whole event was put together and choreographed by the amazing Tony and Michelle Bowler.
Tony's upfront honesty and professionalism helped me to understand what was required from my delivery point of view. The event itself showed the understanding that Tony has to support the local businesses through his connecting and networking.
I would highly recommend any business that wants to progress forward to attend Tony and Michelle's friendly Business Culture event.
There is a true essence of helping and supporting each other to reap the benefits of a team ethic that will aid everyone in their future goals.
