Welcome to South Durham Business Network, a mechanism for businesses both individually and collectively to make a difference, win new business and prosper. The power and value of the Network is through those businesses which actively participate, contribute and challenge the Network. It’s important to recognise that the Network doesn’t operate in isolation, but has strong linkage with Sedgefield Borough Council and are also a member of Business Clubs North East (BCNE) which provides access to eight other regional business clubs, forums and networks. It is through this critical mass that we are able to make a difference.
