About us

Buckinghamshire Business First (BBF) aims to promote the sustainable economic development of Buckinghamshire.

BBF is a lobbying organisation and "think-tank", bringing together the private sector, public authorities and the community to ensure Buckinghamshire remains a thriving and prosperous place in which to live and work.

BBF is a not-for-profit company, limited by guarantee. The company has a private-sector led Board of Directors, drawn from a cross-section of local businesses.

BBF works in partnership with a wide range of organisations to ensure that Buckinghamshire:

• is a place where business is welcomed.
• encourages business improvement, through innovation, productivity and competitiveness.
• supports a community where all benefit from the advantages of a dynamic business sector.
• builds a future where the economy is vibrant, diverse and world-class.
• researches and develops the skills and training needs of young people and adults to meet the requirements of businesses in the county.

BBF works in a variety of ways to achieve these objectives:

• commissioning research into the economy of the county, for example, by investigating the amount of land available for commercial activity.
• commenting upon major planning proposals which will shape the economic future of the area.
• supporting initiatives which promote business development.
• working in partnership with other agencies to promote investment in infrastructure.
