our clients and give back to the local community at the same time , supporting charities , behaving ethically and sustainably .
“ Personally , I ’ m really looking forward to society opening up again and being able to get back out there networking and meeting people . I ’ m 100 per cent a people person and I ’ ve found the lockdowns really hard . It will be fantastic to get our networking breakfasts going again . Before the lockdowns we regularly had 80 + people attending our events at Cumberwell Park in Bradford on Avon . Before the year is out I hope to host two , one ‘ hurrah we ’ re back in the room ’ breakfast and another Christmas special where we all wear Christmas jumpers , get festive and raise some money for charity .”
More information about these events , dates and times will be published in due course . Meanwhile here are just five voices to celebrate our five years of being the go-to business magazine in Bath and Somerset .

“ Any business works best when it collaborates with others . The Business Exchange ( TBE ) allows us to understand what is going on with other businesses , their challenges , their opportunities and how we can work together to grow and be successful . Working with Anita has been an absolute pleasure ; she is always open to new ideas , she is proactive in creating innovative events , she is supportive to businesses big and small . She works tirelessly – and always with a smile - to integrate the business community of Bath and Somerset . She is , in short , a human dynamo .”
Ian Lloyd , is a partner with accountancy firm Milsted Langdon . He said , “ The magazine brings together those businesses that are proactive and progressive . It also gives me and my firm the opportunity to engage with contributors and potential mutual reciprocal businesses . It ’ s a great platform for collaboration .
James Eades of Systemagic , based in Bradford On Avon , has been involved from the early days and has been integral to the Swindon & Wiltshire Techies too , as a judge . “ It ’ s a magazine you see frequently in receptions when visiting other businesses and it has created a valuable community in business . ‘ I saw your article in The Business Exchange ’ is a common opening gambit when meeting new and existing contacts and is a great ice breaker .
“ We ’ ve been fortunate enough to win numerous clients off the back of this and I feel privileged to work closely with Anita and her team as both customer and supplier .”
