Exciting developments are afoot as B Local Brighton, the volunteer-led network, launches a campaign to unite the region’s burgeoning B Corp community. With around 90 Certified B Corporations in East and West Sussex, this initiative aims to boost participation and foster collaboration among like-minded businesses.

B Local Brighton is expanding its leadership team with the addition of Alex Hankinson and Greta Leipute as new co-chairs, joining forces with Demi Heath and Ariela Schnitman. This dynamic team is set to enhance the network’s offerings, including workshops and support sessions, to help businesses navigate B Lab’s new standards.

The Sussex B Corp community is a vibrant mix, from larger employers to independent gems like Brighton’s Spark & Bell and Redroaster. These businesses are committed to high standards of social and environmental performance, transparency, and accountability, making a positive impact on people and the planet.

Joining B Local Brighton is a fantastic opportunity for businesses working towards certification or those curious about the B Corp journey. The network provides a platform for sharing knowledge, building relationships, and taking collective action. It’s a chance to be part of a movement that’s not only good for the planet but also good for business. According to B Lab’s Take 10 Impact Report, UK B Corps have seen impressive growth, outpacing the average SME.

For those interested in joining this thriving community, B Local Brighton offers a welcoming space to connect and collaborate. And if you’re considering making Brighton your business base, remember, we at Sawyer & Co are here to help you find the perfect spot to grow and thrive!
