People and businesses joining P4B are invited to list their details in up to 3 cluster clubs of their choice 'free' of charge.  Should members wish to join more than 3 clubs - no problem - members just let us know which ones they want to be in and we will do the rest. A small administration charge of £10 per year will be made for every additional club a member joins.

Club 'Patrons' and 'Sponsors' wanted !

If your sector of business is not shown above and you would like to help start a 'club' for your sector, please contact P4B with details of which sector 'clubs' you think should be created.   Each 'club' will develop as an on-line network to encourage contacts between members, with opportunities to share best practice and develop business together.

As each 'club' grows P4B's intention is to develop a number of 'club' specific events and conferences which will support the development of contacts and encourage inter-trading between members. Each 'club' event will include the proven one-on-one delegate networking, which have proved so successful and popular with members in the various 'Partners4' and 'INTERTECH' events.  Watch this space for our first INTERBIZ event in 2009.

Such 'club' events can be held anywhere in the world and can be attached to an existing business event, conference or exhibition. Please contact P4B to discuss your ideas for hosting a 'club' based partnering event in your community sometime in the future.  New P4B businees 'clubs' which will service the needs of additional sectors of business, will be created if sufficient demand or sponsorship is forthcoming from the membership.

Advertising Opportunities

Advertising opportunities are available for each Partners4Business cluster 'club'.   As an 'advertiser' you will be able to increase your organisations visibility and activity in your chosen sector of technology. Potential advertisers include professional service providers, business and science parks, economic development agencies, universities and companies who may be looking for a cost effective way to raise their profile and find new business contacts in their particular sector of business.

If you would like to discuss advertising in one or more of the cluster clubs shown above
please contact P4B at ....
