The Sport Business Network is an exclusive business network dedicated to ensuring its members add value to their business. Our members also join us and our professional sport partners in supporting the superb, but largely unknown, work that the world of sport does in communities, many of which can be best described as “disadvantaged."

The Sport Business Network removes the random from networking by making sure that members are connected to people who want to meet each other. The members all share the same positive traits - they are entrepreneurially minded, ambitious and confident that they will win in any business climate. In short they are business leaders.

We set up the Sport Business Network because we have a passion for sport and business and we know thousands of other business people do too. What could be better than making effective business contacts, often in a sporting environment, whilst genuinely helping to make society a better place? The SBN is owned by RTM Group, a growing marketing consultancy specialising in the SME sector, together with its sister company RTM Sports Marketing, one of the UK’s leaders in community and grassroots sport. « less
