Empowering Business Through Community and Capacity
Helping SMEs grow by unlocking hidden potential — all within a trusted, entrepreneurial community.
Born from Innovation. Built on Spare Capacity.
John Attridge is a seasoned entrepreneur and the visionary behind BBX UK. With two eight-figure business exits under his belt — including one via IPO — John has spent decades helping businesses unlock growth through one of the most overlooked assets: spare capacity.
His journey began in Australia during the 1989 airline pilots' strike, when a downturn in tourism forced him to think differently about idle stock in his car rental business. That moment sparked a passion for building trade communities, systems that allow businesses to generate more revenue without increasing costs.
After years of consulting globally and building a platform in Australia, John launched BBX UK in 2014, creating a trusted, growth-focused business network that now forms part of the BBX International family.

My Account Manager has been brilliant at helping me get the most from BBX without ever feeling pressured, just great support and genuine interest in my business.
Andrew Moorcroft
Founder, Everleaf Herbal
BBX as a business support function for me is a no brainer. Any business owner turning down a marketing support company, a sales support business, providing leads for my business, acting as the best bank in the world has their eyes closed. BBX makes you money and saves you money - not bad eh?
John Smith

Being part of BBX feels like having a team in your corner. They actively look for ways to create value, make meaningful connections, and open doors. It’s not just a trading network — it’s a partnership built on real support and belief in its members.
