OUR MISSION
-
WHO ARE WELaunched in September 2018, Black Business Network was created to address the disparity in the availability of tools, knowledge and strategic development required to progress black SME's in the UK. We are committed to the growth and maintenance of our business community; providing resources and safe space events which allow professionals and entrepreneurs alike the opportunity to establish meaningful business connections.
-
WHY JUST BLACK BUSINESSES?We predominantly focus on organisations in the Black community as we recognise there can be unique barriers often overlooked when providing support for marginalised communities. When discussing diversity and inclusion, 'BAME' or 'BME' is usually the focus; but it’s important to recognise that BAME is an umbrella term, used to reference an incredibly diverse group of people, each of whom have diverse issues to deal with.
-
OUR APPROACHHere at Black Business Network we are taking a new and more impactful approach to diversity and inclusion by targeting the specific needs of the community we know and love. By addressing the individual gaps in knowledge we can tailor and detail our outputs to provide more effective solutions to black business issues. Creating a real and progressive change that can collectively support the community!
