Her lawyer, her mechanic, her printer, her carpet cleaner… all BNI members, all suppliers and partners who contribute to the framework of Hannah Blake’s business and life – and that’s why she’s so passionate about BNI.
The new regional director for Northland, Hannah is determined to tell the BNI story far and wide and to communicate a deeper understanding of what the organisation is really about.
It’s a task that, as a public relations agency owner (BlakePR in Whangarei) and experienced journalist, she’s well qualified for.
“When I first started getting to know BNI and talked to people about it, there were some who complained it was too expensive compared to some of the free networks around.
“I want to show them the reason you join BNI is because you’re buying a whole new marketing team and you make your money back within one or two referrals. Not only that, the relationships, support and advice that comes with it is priceless.”
Also the Funding Development and Communications Manager for North Haven Hospice, Hannah is looking forward to strengthening ties between the two organisations.
“I have a real vision for BNI and I plan to work hard to build the membership.”
Hannah is responsible for four BNI chapters in Whangarei and one in Kerikeri.

Go Hannah.
There was only one chapter in Northland when I was selected as Regional Director in the mid 2000’s. I managed to double that to 2 and Gary next made it 4 chapters.
BNI will continue to grow I’m sure with your enthusiasm.
All the best 🙂
