Been a member of NNBN now for quite a few years and I get work from it, the community is very supportive in helping each other and recommending each other and Simon Cox has a wealth of contacts and knowledge. It is not just the networking that makes NNBN so good but all the other business benefits you get as well.

My business is a Founding Member NNBN and I genuinely think bang for buck this is the best networking group for businesses within the Northamptonshire community. Having tried other and more expensive networking options such as BNI and local Chamber events, I have found this to be the most enjoyable while striking the balance perfectly between serious business and socialising. I have no hesitation recommending NNBN. Simon and Marie do a fantastic job with this and their hearts really are into helping other local businesses succeed. With the addition of the NNBN Awards for this year, expansion into West Northants and meetings garnering attention and guests from ministers and the like we are truly lucky to be able to visit. I think the locations of the meetings are superb and add a touch of class to the meetings, Kettering Park Hotel and Chester house Rushden are the starting points for what i am sure will be an ever evolving business going forward.

Our business Wine Chateau LTD is a part of NNBN family since it’s foundation and we are pleased to be one of the founder members! NNBN represents a great opportunity for start up businesses and not only to integrate itself by creating new connections with other local businesses that one day can became your customer, business supporter or create a business collaboration. During the monthly meetings we met other business owners that helped us in improving our website, SEO and to identify new B2B customers. Additionally, due to NNBN we were directed toward other institutions such as BIPC where we got free access toward a big variety of business workshops and databases. Moreover, NNBN offers access to promotional tools such as the app, social media, website and digital publication that highly contributed in increasing our business awareness in Northamptonshire area. The founders, Simon and Marie, are great people focused on supporting small local businesses like ours and we are thankful to have meet them!

The NNBN network has connected us with some wonderful local businesses. Not only had the group provided Ena HR & Training with business opportunities but it has also grown our support network and fellow local organisations I can refer my clients to if it's something we can't help with. Simon and Marie do so much for the local business community, if you are a North Northants business, membership to the NNBN is a very sound investment.

I decided to join NNBN Networking group from the beginning as the membership and events were exactly what I was looking for to be able to meet other business owners. The support from both Simon and Marie has been amazing and I would highly recommend others to be part of this growing network.

I launched my Wealth Management Business in May 2022. At first, I didn't know anyone in the business community but then I found NNBN online and booked for one of the networking events. Since I became a member, I have loved monthly networking. It has built my confidence. Simon has introduced me to people and businesses I never thought I would've met. Simon and Marie are doing a great job promoting local businesses.
