Company details

  1. Business Networking Company

Written by the company

The idea for “FORE” Business came about in 2013 when the founders, Sean Fergusson & Arron Busst, met at a local networking event and got talking about golf as a common interest. They soon got round to talking about the business successes they had on the golf course. It became clear business and golf has always unofficially gone hand in hand. The green being the perfect ‘playing field’ for important business meetings, discussions and negotiations to take place; so “FORE” Business was born with the thought, ‘what better way to encourage successful business relationships, than to create an actual members club for business owners who enjoy golf and love to network?’. "FORE" Business now has over 1700 members across 120 groups that are part of our ever growing community. Our groups meet every month across the UK, USA, Spain and Dubai and we have seen in excess of £250 million pounds worth of new business being shared on and off the golf course. If your'e a business owner that loves to play golf and your business can take on more clients, please reach out to us to arrange a complimentary month under our Golden Ticket Programme.

I’ve been a Woking member of Fore Business for the past three months and have thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The events are always very well organised, welcoming and a great opportunity to meet other local business owners. I’m looking forward to attending many more.

Thank you so much for the lovely review, Steve! It’s fantastic to hear how much you’ve enjoyed being part of the Woking FORE Business community over the past three months.

Great value. Great fun. Guilt-free golf.

I joined FORE Leatherhead in May 2024. The combination of great business networking & playing golf is brilliant. You learn a lot about people during a 4 hour round, and they learn a lot about you! Building relationships first. The business gets done over time.

Like most things, what you get out is a direct result of what you put in. The FLEXI membership tier is the game-changer as you can play at other groups in the month and get real leverage on your networking time as you broaden your audience, reputation and friendships within the wider FORE network.

My business - UK Business Mentoring (Surrey & Sussex) -has certainly benefited from the enduring connections and friendships made (so far). I'm now helping others to get the very best out of the many opportunities that FORE presents.

Try out a no-risk, "try before you buy" Golden Ticket for a free month of FORE membership to experience a group and feel the vibe that keeps us coming back.

Guilt-free golf. Brilliant!

Steve, thank you so much for taking the time to write such a thoughtful review. I really appreciate your kind words and it's fantastic to hear how much value you've found in FORE, both from the golfing and the relationships you've built.

It's especially rewarding to see how the FLEXI membership has helped you expand your network and how your business has benefited from the connections you've made. Your "relationships first" approach is exactly what FORE is all about.

Thanks again for your support, Steve. We're delighted to have you as part of the FORE community, and here's to many more great rounds, friendships and business opportunities ahead!

Having been a Fore Business Ultimate…

Having been a Fore Business Ultimate member for over 9 years, I can categorically say that it’s by far the most engaging and inclusive networking organisation I have encountered - where else can you build relationships with dozens, even hundreds of business owners while all having one thing in common…the topic of how bad your golf currently is 😉

I’d highly recommend that anyone who runs ANY type of business, and who plays golf to any level, find your nearest Fore Business group and get along there asap 👍

Leon, thank you so much for your brilliant review and, even more importantly, for your incredible support over the past nine years.

Your comments really mean a lot, and I love how you've captured what makes FORE so special—building genuine business relationships in a welcoming, inclusive environment, with plenty of laughs along the way (especially about our golf!).

Thank you for being such a fantastic advocate for FORE and for everything you've contributed to the community over the years. It's members like you who make the network what it is. Here's to many more years of great golf, great friendships and great business together!

I joined Fore Business a few months ago and have just upgraded to Flexi membership. The Woking group is very welcoming and usually contains not only Woking members but flexi members from other groups and Golden tickets.
All professions and industries are catered for and it's a fantastic way to expand your network over a round of golf at a very competitive cost :)

Hi Ian,

Thank you so much for your great review and for your support. It's fantastic to hear you've enjoyed your first few months with FORE and have already upgraded to FLEXI membership.

I'm really pleased you've found the Woking group so welcoming and that you're seeing the value of meeting members from across the wider network. That's exactly what FLEXI is all about, expanding your connections while enjoying a great round of golf.

Thanks again for taking the time to share your experience. We really appreciate it and look forward to seeing you at many more FORE events!

A fantastic first year with FORE Business

I am coming up to the end of my first year as a FORE Business member, and it has been a genuinely positive experience.

The South Regional Finals at Pyrford Lakes, hosted by the Woking Group, was a particular highlight. With more than 60 people attending, it was an incredibly well-organised and enjoyable event, combining competitive golf with a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere.

FORE Business provides a great way to build meaningful business relationships while enjoying some excellent golf days. Through Orphic Financial Insight Limited, I have made a number of valuable connections and met many supportive, like-minded business owners and professionals.

A strong business community and a membership I have thoroughly enjoyed.

Hi Benjamin,

Thank you so much for your kind review and for taking the time to share your experience after your first year with FORE.

It's fantastic to hear how much you've enjoyed being part of the community, and I'm especially pleased that the South Regional Finals at Pyrford Lakes stood out as a highlight. Events like these are all about bringing great people together, so it's wonderful to know you enjoyed both the golf and the atmosphere.

I'm delighted that FORE has helped you build valuable business relationships and connect with so many like-minded professionals. Thank you again for your support and for being such a valued member of the FORE community. Here's to another successful year, both on and off the course!

Great relationships = great opportunities

It's a truism but the more knowledge and trust there is in a relationship, the more we are inclined to help and support each other. A lot of networking can be very transactional but Fore's superpower is that its format makes it easy to build those relationships - more time at the monthly meetings themselves and in between through online sessions and events.

Hi Chris,

Thank you so much for your thoughtful review and for capturing so perfectly what makes FORE different.

I love your point about knowledge and trust being the foundation of great business relationships. You're absolutely right, while many networking groups can feel transactional, FORE is all about creating the time and opportunities for genuine relationships to develop, both on and off the course.

Thank you for your support and for being such a valued member of the FORE community. We're delighted you're enjoying the experience, and we look forward to helping you build many more meaningful relationships in the years ahead.

A great networking operation

A great networking operation - has provided me consistent good opportunities and helpful contacts in my 10 years of membership. Add to this the friendly, welcoming atmosphere and the great golfing opportunities, and it's a real no-brainer!

An incredibly successful business…

An incredibly successful business network that continues to grow and evolve, and is proving it's worth year after year. Great fun to be involved, great people, and some really enjoyable golf too - what more could you ask for! This was an amazing event with over 60 business leaders all there for the day, playing and networking together, and with a brilliantly enjoyable atmosphere.

If you enjoy a round of golf and want more business just do it.

I joined Fore Baskingstoke and Newbury group 4 months ago on a Flexi membership. We have met some amazing people, signed new business and now work closely with several complimentary businesses. What a great way to network, wish we had done it sooner. If you are going to join, a Flexi is essential to meet the wider Fore community.

Current member of Fore Business Woking

I was a member of Fore Business previously (when working at a different firm) but have re-joined fairly recently and it has been a fantastic investment for me, personally, but also for Kilgannon & Partners LLP, a niche employment law firm. The support network has hugely advanced since my previous period of membership with a member's portal and many more groups to join. In a few short months, I have already made lots of business connections and friends. I have also been able to get help from other members when needed quickly and easily.

I've been a member of FORE Business for 1 .5 years

Another fantastic day with FORE Business at Pyrford Lakes Golf Club.

Around 60 local businesses came together, the weather was perfect, the golf course was in great condition, and finishing the day with a BBQ made it even better. What makes FORE different is that the conversations and relationships happen naturally. It's networking without feeling like networking.

As the owner of A Touch of Colour Decorators Ltd and True Grit Life Coaching, I've built genuine connections, picked up opportunities for both businesses, and met some brilliant people along the way. The quality of members and the relaxed atmosphere make it easy to build long-term relationships instead of just collecting business cards.

If you're a business owner who enjoys golf and wants to grow your network with like-minded people, I'd highly recommend giving FORE Business a try.

Just give it a try, you won’t be disappointed

Very glad I accepted the invitation to try out the Fore Business group in Woking today as head of Willingtons Roofing & Building LTD.
Mark and Rohit were great in getting me in position to try the group before I sign up. Enjoyed a good breakfast, some networking and then a round of golf with Rohit and two existing members. This was followed by more networking and a fantastic BBQ on the terrace in the sunshine.
I would highly recommend anyone to try this out as you may be very surprised at what a great group of people pit their time into Fore.
Bravo to all the organisers, you’ve gained a new member today and I’ll bring as much value as I can going forward.

I attended the Edinburgh event in June with a golden ticket having seen the group advertised on social media.

I was made to feel so welcome and met many other local business owners over breakfast before going out for a four ball at the amazing Dalmahoy GC.

I've since played my own four ball and attended two more events.

I can already see the benefit of being in member and look forward to continuing to build relationships as well as enjoying some time on the golf course.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fore Business has genuinely…

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fore Business has genuinely changed both my business and my outlook on networking.

When I first joined Fore Business, I started as a Flexi Member. My original plan was simple – play a bit more golf, meet some new people and see where it led.

I never imagined the impact it would have.

The relationships I’ve built across the UK and Spain have been incredible. I’ve made genuine friends, received valuable referrals, learned from experienced business owners and become part of a community that genuinely wants to see each other succeed.

The value I found was so significant that I upgraded to an Ultimate Membership, and now I travel every week to different Fore Business meetings around the country. Every event introduces me to new people, new ideas and new opportunities. No two meetings are ever the same, but the welcoming atmosphere and willingness to help one another are always consistent.

There is no hard selling or pressure. It’s simply good people, supporting good people, and building lasting business relationships based on trust.

This year I was incredibly proud to become the main sponsor of the Fore Business Scottish Open Week. Supporting an organisation that has given so much back to me was an easy decision, and seeing members from across the UK come together made me realise just how special this community is.

If you’re looking for more than just networking, if you want genuine relationships, quality business conversations and a community that supports your success, I couldn’t recommend Fore Business highly enough.

Thank you to everyone at Fore Business, and to all the members who have made me feel so welcome. Here’s to many more miles travelled, rounds of golf played, friendships made and business opportunities created.
