Severn Business Network.
SBN is more than a business networking group. It's a community of local business owners who believe that when one of us succeeds, we all succeed.
We value our connections with each other—not just in business, but within our community, our families, and our everyday lives. Running a business can sometimes feel lonely, but it doesn't have to be.
As a member, you'll gain access to a room full of local business owners who are paving the way alongside you. People who understand the highs, the challenges, and everything in between. You'll be surrounded by members who inspire, encourage, celebrate your wins, and offer a supportive voice when you need one most. We all know that running a business means constantly juggling. SBN helps make that journey easier because you're never doing it alone.
Alongside this supportive community, you'll also benefit from the power of the SBN website and social media programme. Your business will benefit from improved Google visibility, increased online presence, and greater exposure to potential customers.
Our focus is simple: helping one another grow our businesses through genuine relationships, trusted referrals, collaboration, and mutual support. We believe that strong businesses are built by strong communities.
We meet every Thursday at 7.00am at Shropshire Wildlife Trust, 193 Abbey Foregate, Shrewsbury SY2 6AH.

Why join SBN?
At SBN, we're serious about helping each other grow. Our main goal is simple: create opportunities, share referrals, and support one another's businesses.
As a member, you'll benefit from the combined power of our website, blogs, and social media. By working together, we help improve each other's online visibility, boost Google rankings, and reach more potential customers.
Each month, we shine a spotlight on one or two members. Everyone helps promote those businesses through social media, blogs, and our website, giving them a huge boost in visibility while strengthening the online presence of the whole group.
We still believe in the power of word-of-mouth referrals, but by combining that with a coordinated online presence, we can have an even greater impact for every member.
Getting set up is easy, and you won't be left to figure it out on your own. David and Lucy are always happy to help you every step of the way.
Together, we're building a business community that's stronger, more visible, and more successful than any of us could be alone.
We are a community that supports you and your interests outside of business.
We wrap our arms around you and your business.
We are also a community….
Being in business can sometimes be lonely and so meeting a room of other like-minded business owners can be very supportive.
You’ll make friends and by regularly meeting we’ll get to know you and what you’re interested in.
The group is incredibly supportive and you’ll become part of our community. We all support each others interests outside of of our businesses.

“I can say that my monthly period in the ‘Spotlight’ last year exposed me to a wider market in Shropshire that I would never have been able to access in my normal day to day activities. SBN has been ‘shot in the arm’ for my business”. David Hill. The Glass studio.
