About Us
RIBN is a professional, but friendly and informal group of people who support and encourage other members. Business happens naturally and we're proud that the group is now regularly attended by a broad range of around 25 local business people and growing.
RIBN was set up in the summer of 2009 by a group of local business people who used to belong to another networking organisation which was relocated out of the
area. The aim of RIBN is to combine the best parts of other networking groups into one group, thus offering its members best value.
