PARTNER REFERRAL SCHEME

Partners and Pastries

TBAT Innovation Ltd is hosting regular Partner Breakfast Networking events to allow the Partner Referral Scheme network to connect.

Business Breakfast Networking

We’re hosting a series of FREE business networking events to further build on relationships with our current partners and to develop our partner network.

These ‘Partners and Pastries’ events will be informal morning networking opportunities for current and prospective partners, to encourage collaborations and add value to each other’s clients through cross-sector relationships.

The events will take place at various UK partner locations, featuring a brief presentation or facility tour. Many of these networking events allow you to bring a client who may benefit from the connections and knowledge/expertise in the room.

Our upcoming Partners and Pastries events are delivered below.

Want to know more about the Partner Referral Scheme?

The TBAT Partner Referral Scheme allows companies to partner with us and refer clients and/or connections to work with us; giving them access to crucial funding opportunities through our range of innovation support services.

For many years, our business grew primarily from referrals and word-of-mouth recommendations by happy clients and organisations that we’d worked with successfully. That ethos has stayed with us for our 20+ years of trading. To highlight the importance of our business network and reward our Partners – for the many referrals and recommendations we still receive to this day – we introduced our Partner Referral Scheme in 2018.

Use the form below to get in touch with our Partnership Manager and further discuss the Partner Referral Scheme.
