Sponsorship
Sponsoring NFBP puts your business in front of 9,000 local businesses - all year round.
From our weekly email newsletters to our packed programme of business events, NFBP sponsors enjoy consistent, prominent visibility across everything we do.
This isn't a one-off advert - it's an ongoing presence at the heart of the New Forest business community.
The flagship opportunity is the Brilliance in Business Awards - the largest and most prestigious business event in the New Forest. Sponsoring the Awards places your brand alongside the region's most celebrated businesses and gives you unrivalled exposure to an engaged, high-quality audience at the most talked-about event in the local business calendar.
In a crowded market, association matters. Aligning your brand with NFBP signals credibility, community commitment and a genuine investment in the New Forest's success. It opens doors, builds relationships and positions you as a business that others want to work with.
Sponsorship with NFBP is also good for more than your profile. As an independent, not-for-profit organisation, everything we do goes back into supporting local businesses - so your investment has a real impact on the community you operate in.
