meet some of our members

The membership base of BHBPA is wonderfully varied. Every business & organisation that is a member of BHBPA has a story to tell, as well as offering products and services that are highly relevant to their chosen customer segments.

Our members include global household brands, award winning domestic and international businesses as well as numerous local service providers. While some are part of huge multinational businesses, others are thriving owner / managed companies based purely in Burgess Hill. Some are sales distributors for renowned brands marketing products that we all rely on, yet others are industry innovators with specialist capabilities. Collectively our members ‘put Burgess Hill on the map’.
