The network that opened doors;
When Lasse Borglit met Henriette and FB Suppliers for the first time, it was with a clear idea: "I want to be part of this network when the time is right."
Years later, the opportunity arose - and it proved crucial in creating new connections, opening doors and providing a strong foundation for future collaborations.
Why the network?
"I met Henriette a few years ago during a guest visit to FB Suppliers," says Lasse Borglit.
"Even then I knew that I wanted to be part of the network at some point. I think the whole of Lolland-Falster - especially with the Fehmarnbelt link - is a very interesting area when it comes to business opportunities. And I also have a personal connection because my mum and her family are from Lolland."
A helping hand
Entering the network was a great experience:
"Henriette has been absolutely fantastic. She helped me identify the members who might be interested in my products and she wrote directly to them with me on CC. It gave me a huge advantage because I was kind of rubber stamped from the start," says Lasse.
In addition, he was given access to FB Suppliers' premises - both for meetings, workspace between appointments and even Open Office on Thursdays, where members are free to come and network.

From 35 to 20 positive contacts
The result was palpable:
"Henriette wrote out to about 35 members. I got about 20 positive responses back, which was really great for me. It clearly showed the value of having a strong network behind you."
Status today
Since then, the relationships have grown and the commitment to the network has paid off:
"It's been super positive for me - both in terms of the contacts I've made, but also through all the events and conferences organised throughout the year. It's always opening up new opportunities."
And the network goes both ways:
"Yes, several people have also referred customers to me. I really feel that people want to help each other - and Henriette is always there to coordinate and pull the strings. That means a lot."
