Why Join?

You get TWO networks for one fee

Join NCBG direct and you only get the regional group — you cannot join or access BBN at all

80 % of your business is local

Only BBN focuses exclusively on Bourton’s opportunities, challenges and huge visitor economy — the wider group covers a huge area and cannot deliver that village‑level focus, influence or daily support

Better referrals

BBN is tight‑knit, geographically close and category‑exclusive — members recommend each other constantly; the larger group is much broader and referrals are far fewer and further away 

Stronger voice

Locally, BBN is the recognised voice of business in Bourton — councils and partners come to us first. 

Better value

Cheaper subscription, plus local discounts unavailable elsewhere, with the regional network included as a bonus.
