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.
