I’m Chris Mansfield, founder of Fusion, the Business Catalyst. We’ve probably met at a
networking event.
I started building my network of contacts and connections in 2000. That’s when I attended my
first BNI meeting and totally grasped their ethos of "givers gain".
Having spent 20-odd years making trusted connections for my own business, I now do this for
other people.
I’m a self-confessed serial networker, mainly around Sussex and London. On a daily retained
basis, I use my trusted reputation to go out and generate high-quality leads and business
connections for your business.
"He is well known as a serial networker and for generating good quality business leads and connections in and around Sussex and London.
He effectively shortcuts the usual process of emails and phone calls trying to contact the right person and being thwarted by the "gatekeepers", by knowing the right person to speak to or knowing someone who does, and because of the trust people have in him they are usually willing to take the call!"
For me, successful networking is about consistency and curiosity. By consistently attending
events and taking a genuine interest in the people there, I build strong and lasting
relationships.
Simon joined me at Fusion in 2022 because we both feel the same way about the power of
networking. We ask what you need for success and find out what you provide for others. Then we
connect you to the right person so you can have a conversation.
Paul started networking seriously when he launched his business consultancy over 25 years ago, following the previous 20 years working for Bluechip Financial Services companies. Since then meeting people and building relationships has been one of the most insightful and enjoyable parts of his career. He gains real satisfaction from investing time in people, by helping them identify the value or solution they seek and matching them with the right help and connections.
The old adage "people buy from people," has long determined his approach towards networking. As individuals, we look to build social trust so that professional trust can naturally follow. By using his active listening skills, empathy and delight in meeting people, he ensures productive conversations and can make meaningful connections and introductions.
We love networking, obviously, but it’s not for everyone. Also, it takes time — and when you’re running a business, it’s difficult to attend networking events consistently.
At Fusion, we attend networking events on your behalf. On a monthly retained basis, we showcase your talents to people who would benefit from your services — people you may not have thought of — and we find new business opportunities for you.
We do this in an informal, non-salesy way, forming trusted relationships with your ideal clients, potential partners and collaborators.

“I’ve known Chris for a number of years now and have grown to think of him as an essential part of business – a cog that keeps the wheels of business turning.
He talks of ‘Putting the Right People Together’ cutting out the time wasters and tyre kickers; quite simply, he does!”
