Business in the Community Alumni
Celebrate your impact, continue to connect
The Business in the Community (BITC) Alumni Network is for the people who have played a part in our story during our 40-year history. The Alumni is a simple way of saying “I was there, I loved it, and we made great
things happen”.
“For the past 40 years Business in the Community has attracted some of the best and brightest individuals, many of whom have gone on to work within member companies or to campaign for the change we need for our communities to thrive across the UK and the globe.”
Mary Macleod, Chief Executive, Business in the Community
