Our Story

Ricardo and Jamal, founders of B2B Referral Partners

Where it all began

Ricardo Barriga and Jamal Naouri first met in 2011 through a business networking group. Over the years, they built strong professional relationships, generated hundreds of referrals, and helped establish and grow a number of successful networking groups.

Through that experience, they saw firsthand the impact that trusted referrals can have on a business. They also learned that the success of a networking group was never determined by the number of people in the room.

The strongest networks aren't built by filling up a room. They are built by creating relationships people trust enough to refer.
Insight Years of networking experience

Built on trust

The strongest business communities were not built around sales pitches or the exchange of business cards. They were built on trust, consistency and a genuine commitment to helping others succeed.

They brought together people who took the time to understand one another’s businesses, looked for meaningful opportunities to make introductions and became trusted advocates for each other.

Inspiration A better way to network

The vision

After many years of building networks and working with business owners across a wide range of industries, Ricardo and Jamal recognised an opportunity to create something different.

That vision became B2B Referral Partners.

B2B Referral Partners was established to create a professional, welcoming and relationship-focused community for business owners who value genuine connections, collaboration and quality referrals.

Our Approach Quality over quantity

Present day

B2B's meetings are structured to help members understand each other’s businesses, build lasting professional relationships and develop trusted referral partnerships. Rather than focusing on the number of contacts made, the emphasis is placed on creating relationships that can lead to meaningful introductions and sustainable business growth.

Today, B2B Referral Partners continues to be guided by the same principles that brought Ricardo and Jamal together in 2011: trust, collaboration and a genuine commitment to helping others succeed.

The belief behind the group is simple:
when strong relationships are built, quality referrals follow.

What we stand for:

The principles that guide every meeting, introduction and referral.

Trust

Reliable, transparent relationships form the foundation of every referral.

Collaboration

Members actively look for meaningful ways to help one another succeed.

Commitment

A genuine dedication to showing up, listening and following through.
