Jon Davey commented, “We started the BinB email newsletter as a means providing information on local networking events. Being a new business we needed to get connected and since our core business was, and is, email marketing, it made sense to use the tools at our disposal to help our business and others move forward.

Over the last 4 years we have gone from strength to strength. In 2004 we launched our CMS website (Content Management System) to make my life easier. Allowing our members to add content through simple web based forms. We can extract the appropriate news easily and add to the relevant newsletter.

The results have been astonishing. Under many different searches we can now be found on page 1 of Google. We first noticed this back in March 2005, just before the Royal wedding. We’d put some pages up about our own wedding at the Guildhall and started getting calls from the press around the world. This resulted in us being invited inside the castle grounds on the day of the wedding!
