The BuyGB Website
Online Market Place
The marketplace allows our producers to list their products in a categorised and comprehensively searchable online shop - you don't have to search for producers and browse shop by shop, if you don't want to, it's all in one place. Members can use a variety of tools to both browse and purchase products from multiple producers within one virtual 'Shopping Basket', and no matter where you are the focus is first and foremost on your nearest local producers. You'll be amazed what's just round the corner that you never knew was there!
My BuyGB
At the heart of Buygb.co.uk is a comprehensive social networking system. Bookmark your favourites, comment on content, add your own content - it will all be in the My BuyGB pages.
