PLMS is a very different way of networking and combines face to face meetings with online for accessibility and flexibility, But best of all we have our own little troop on the ground networking at lots of events that we wouldn't usually be able to make. Who wouldn't want to take advantage of that?

PLMS isn’t just a networking group—it’s business matching at its best. Paul and his team go beyond meetings, making introductions, staying in touch, and connecting you with the right people to help your business grow. With a non-competitive, friendly environment, PLMS ensures referrals go to one expert per field.

PLMS has proven to be a good value for money networking opportunity. Paul is dedicated and passionate about bringing people together to collaborate, and works tirelessly to ensure each of his members are presented with opportunities to do so.

The monthly one to one calls with Dawn are a fantastic way of relaying good news and explaining business requirements so PLMS can try and help!

Adept Communications

The PLMS concept, born out of Paul Lawton’s extensive experience in networking, is a refreshing departure from the norm. The offer is not only unique and intriguing for my business but also for many others across a broad range of industries.

Paul has designed an approach that blends in-person and virtual interactions seamlessly, creating a personal and impactful experience.

PLMS is like no other networking group. Led by Paul Lawton, it’s a business introduction group, and Paul is always networking and looking for ways to benefit the members.

As a member, I thoroughly enjoy being surrounded by supportive and like-minded members and I’ve also benefited from gaining new clients and future opportunities, which makes PLMS a valued part of my marketing strategy and business growth.

PLMS stands out as a networking group that truly surpasses others I’ve been part of. Paul has cultivated an incredible sense of community among members, creating a supportive and collaborative environment.

Since joining, I’ve had the opportunity to meet many fellow business owners, leading to collaborations and business opportunities with individuals | might not have connected with otherwise. Paul's passion for bringing people together is inspiring, and I’m proud to be a member and to support others within this fantastic group.

Paul introduced me to his idea before he actually went live and I’m grateful he did. What PLMS achieves with less than 100 people in terms of business output far exceeds what larger networking organisations fail to achieve with many more organisations and members.

A truly interdependent business community, open to new ideas and helping each other to move forwards.

We had a very positive meeting with a locally based national company we would not normally have had access to though any other means.

This shows the positivity within the group and the benefits of the selection process in place. Again, thank you your time and input in appreciated.

Thrive Together Training and Coaching Ltd

PLMS is the best networking group I have been to, I am reluctant to call it a network group as it does far more than that. Paul and Dawn are experts at looking for what each individual member wants and delivering on that.

They create partnerships and provide leads suited to you on a regular basis which is so different to others.

The PLMS Group is a different approach to networking.

It concentrates on building relationships and Paul works endlessly to connect everyone in the group with quality opportunities to collaborate and grow.

Goldtempest Marketing Solutions

I have been a member of PLMS since the beginning and have really enjoyed being part of the Group. More importantly I have made a number of useful contacts and have reconnected with people I had lost contact which in part was due to Covid. That combined with a hybrid approach between online and face to face it works really well.
