Understanding Private Medical Healthcare
Simon began by emphasizing the importance of private medical healthcare in today’s uncertain times. He discussed the various needs that individuals and businesses have for reliable healthcare solutions that go beyond the limitations of the public healthcare system. From faster access to specialists to tailored treatment plans, private healthcare offers significant advantages that cater to specific needs and preferences.
Why Choose WPA?
Simon elaborated on why WPA has earned its reputation as the number one healthcare provider. He highlighted several key benefits and distinguishing features of WPA’s services:
- Just Health Insurance: “We don’t offer any other type of insurance. We specialise in health insurance, because we are good at it. That’s all we do. No distractions.”
- Purpose & Principals: “We don’t have shareholders, which means that we’re free to act differently from the rest. Our focus is on the service we provide our members and to give the best advice.”
- Exceptional Service: “We have been helping our members for more than 120 years. Our philosophy centres around treating others the way we would want to be treated ourselves.”
- Freedom to Choose: “Choose where, when and who provides your treatment. Unlike some health insurers, we don’t limit who can treat you. Have the freedom to choose what’s best for you.”
Simon Robert’s presentation highlighted the important role private medical healthcare can play and positioned WPA, being the only Which? recommended private medical insurance provider, as the leading choice for reliable and comprehensive healthcare solutions. His informative presentation conveyed the importance of making informed choices when it comes to healthcare.
Education Slot: Andy Green - The Subs Bench
This week, Andy Green delivered our education slot with a presentation titled “The Subs Bench.” Andy emphasized the importance of having a backup plan for your business by building a list of potential representatives who can step in for you when needed. He shared a strategic approach on how to create this plan, who to include, and how to use it effectively.
Andy’s suggested hierarchy for potential representatives is as follows:
- Customer/Client
- Colleague
- Supplier
- Family Member
- Friend
- BNI Member
By following such a heirarchy, you can ensure that your business is well-represented in any situation. Andy’s talk was a strong reminder of the importance of strategic planning.
Best 60s presentation: Simon Cripps - Dancing Cows

Simon Cripps delivered the most memorable 60-second presentation this week, earning him a two-minute slot in next week’s meeting. Simon creatively used videos of dancing cows to promote his marketing company, Smart Cow. His unique and humorous approach captured everyone’s attention and effectively conveyed the fun and innovative spirit of his brand.
May group statistics
Our group’s performance in May showcased the dedication of our members. In the month of May our group people to members 63 times and as a result of these referrals, our member’s businesses thanked other members for just under £70,000 worth of business. This was made possible through 61 one-to-one external meetings. We also invited 11 visitors to our meetings over the course of the Month, widening our scope further across the area.
These numbers reflect the strong network and support system within our BNI Surrey Hills chapter, contributing to the growth and success of our businesses.
Final Thoughts
As always, a delicious breakfast was available, providing the perfect addition to our productive meeting.
This meeting highlighted the importance of strategic planning, creative marketing, and the power of our BNI community. Remember to apply Andy’s insights on building a backup plan and be inspired by Simon’s innovative approach to marketing.
