B4
On Thursday 10th October, NEXUS, a new programme designed by B4 (Oxfordshire’s leading B2B networking organisation) to inspire collaboration within Oxfordshire’s business community, was launched at Jurys Inn.
Oxfordshire Voice and some of the key founding members of the organisation have been meeting recently to mark an important and symbolic event.
Oxfordshire Voice has been set up to find solutions for the key challenges facing Oxfordshire businesses. Whilst many solutions have and are being implemented by businesses on a daily basis (flexible working, car pooling etc….) to overcome these challenges, larger policy related changes may well take years to implement.
We’ve often wondered what makes B4 stand out from the crowd, and after many years we feel we might finally have the answer: B4 is more than networking.
BIO2019 Encapsulates the Vibrancy of Oxfordshire’s Business Community
Oxfordshire is poised to consolidate and strengthen its place at the heart of business in Britain – Brexit or No Brexit.
Summer is on the horizon, and with it comes Oxfordshire’s biggest business event bringing together the county’s best and brightest for a full day, thought-provoking event that helps you, as an Oxfordshire based organisation, to “Unlock Your Business Growth”.
On Friday 15th March, a range of business professionals aged between 17 and 30 joined NXT for an evening of networking at Metro Bank located in the centre of Oxford.
Having enjoyed excellent events at Saïd Business School and The King’s Centre over the past five years, BIO is moving to a fantastic new space at MINI Plant Oxford on Thursday 6th June 2019.
What an unforgettable and privileged night B4 members and their guests enjoyed in the incredible surroundings of The Saloon at Blenheim Palace in October. Sixty guests enjoyed a champagne reception in the Great Hall before the Saloon’s doors opened to reveal beautifully set tables, complete with Halloween table decorations supplied by event stylist, Tina Rosser (of TJR Event Styling and Management) and B4’s oldest member, an immaculately dressed skeleton.
On 21st November B4 members and guests were welcomed to our first Classic Event at the stunning Oxford Town Hall. Guests explored this beautiful and historic building and enjoyed a selection of complimentary drinks and canapés courtesy of Lamb Catering. Accompanied by speeches from B4’s Richard Rosser and David Hunt, Commercial Manager of Oxford Town Hall.
On 6th September B4 members and guests enjoyed an evening of networking with drinks and canapés at the stunning home of the Rhodes Scholars, Rhodes House. With a pre-event Masterclass from Hayley Monks of Think Inspire Create who presented guests with a wonderful and appropriate topic for discussion: “The Future of the Workforce – Does the quality of the human interaction become more important as automation grows?”.
Oxford and Oxfordshire were top of the 2017 Demos-PwC Good Growth for Cities index and the 2018 Arcadis ‘Investing in Britain’ report names Oxford as the 2nd best city in the UK for Growth Potential. As Oxfordshire’s leading business networking community, B4 aims to play a key role in this growth.
On 10th May B4 Members and guests enjoyed an evening of networking in the fantastic, innovative venue 141 Park Drive, Milton Park. Followed by speeches from B4’s Richard Rosser and Milton Park’s Philip Campbell. The evening provided our guests an insight into the people behind Milton Park, how the place is run and the latest news and developments within this fascinating science and business park.
