Business Networking Bury Lancashire:
Business For Breakfast (BforB)

For Business Networking Bury there is a group which meets every two weeks operated by Business For Breakfast (BforB).

This Lancashire group is a dynamic and thriving group which has been established for over 3 years. There are around 25 members from a wide range of sectors. Owing to its success there is currently a waiting list for some sectors and so an additional Bury group will be opened in July 2008.

BforB promotes an ethos of being business focused whilst also being relaxed and informal so that strong and meaningful relationships are quickly fostered. Members get together with the aim of building relationships, sharing their contacts and passing referrals thus helping one another grow their businesses.

The group is run by its members for its members lead by a 4 person, award-winning, executive team.
