Come and join the NBE Community
NBE is the UK's leading charity on all aspects of moving and handling. NBE is about relationships. Our strength comes from our membership. Whether you’re a seasoned professional or new to the industry, it doesn’t matter, all are welcome. You will be joining an engaging and supportive community.
Why join NBE?
Some of us work in teams, some of us work in isolation. Many moving and handling practitioners, who are specialists within their organisations, work alone. By joining the NBE community you’ll feel connected. Being part of a larger body of like-minded people will give you confidence in what you do and how you do it.
Power of the People - two heads are better than one? Well, what about a whole community! You can become part of an organised movement that fosters creativity and learning. Our members come from all corners of the moving and handling world, which gives us the power to see the full picture. NBE is made up of a vast amount of talent, expertise, specialisms, experience, and perspectives. This enables us to influence, guide and effect change on a national level. NBE is greater than the sum of its parts.
