What is G12 Selekt?

by G12 Marketing
May 30, 2025

G12 Selekt, our exclusive, member-only referral networking groups are designed to foster meaningful relationships and drive genuine business opportunities.

Our meetings happen twice a month (on a Wednesday). There’s an informal chance to network, as members begin to arrive from 9am, ahead of the ‘formal’ start at 9.30am. Breakfast, coffees and teas are provided.

The meetings see each member provide an ‘elevator pitch’ to the group ahead of a ten-minute presentation which provides a deeper insight into a particular business and throughout the group we offer quality referrals between each of members.

We currently have two Selekt groups, Teign, which operates on the boundaries of the River Teign, and A38 which is on the outskirts of Plymouth.

Are you interested in joining? Well, firstly, please check the groups on-line directory of each group to ensure your field of expertise doesn’t overlap with anyone else’s as we only allow one business per category in the room. This is important as it helps to avoid any potential for direct competition between members – if you have any queries please email Alistair – [email protected].

If you enjoy attending these meetings then we can provide you with a membership form, which needs to be completed and returned to a member of the Committee along with payment of the first year’s membership cost of £149.

We ask that you attend every meeting, or, if you’re unable to come along, then we would like you to provide a substitute. We also proactively encourage you to provide solid leads (referrals) for other members.
