About Us: 

B4 Magazine was launched five years ago to give Oxfordshire's businesses the opportunity to showcase themselves to a wide audience of business decision makers.

Issue 1 was just 60 pages, but the magazine now boasts over 120 pages of interesting, topical and attractively designed articles to appeal to Oxfordshire’s business community. Eagerly awaited each quarter, B4 has established itself as THE business magazine to be seen in.

In addition to 3,000 copies of B4 being distributed to business decision makers in Oxfordshire, www.b4-business.com now has over 300 members who regularly post latest news items on the site which also holds over 500 B4 articles, thus making the B4 website one which is hugely rich in content.

The final element of B4 are the B4 quarterly Ambassador events. Attended by B4 Ambassadors, Members and their guests, B4 events are informal but effective networking events, designed to encourage members to meet and do business or just to catch up. B4 events are staged at some of Oxfordshire’s most prestigious locations, such as Malmaison Hotel, Blenheim Palace, Rhodes House, Miele and Williams F1 Conference Centre.

B4 is Oxfordshire’s business platform, on line, in print and face to face.
