Become an Associate of NBE

Introducing Associates of National Back Exchange

We are delighted to offer Associates of National Back Exchange.

Associates of NBE will replace previous affiliates and local groups in a way that allows the expertise of all in the moving and handling field to be involved, collaborate and continue to be supported by NBE in a single community of practice.

This will further our aim of bringing together individuals who share common interests, goals, and professions within moving and handling. It will create a platform for exchanging ideas; sharing best practices; networking; developing knowledge and skills; and problem-solving, expanding our sense of community, camaraderie, and fellowship.

We are really looking forward to continuing to support all those who have shared aims and vision in line with those of National Back Exchange.
