About MBBNDumfries
and Galloway Chamber of Commerce (DGCC) have created a Mountain
Bike Business Network (MBBN) for all businesses involved or wishing to be
involved in providing services directly
or indirectly to users of the 7stanes mountain bike trails managed by the Forestry Commission and the privately managed trails at Drumlanrig. The day to day
management of the web site has been contracted to Tourism Doctor Limited,
however all web content will be controlled directly by authorised
administrators of DGCC and MBBN. Our 7Stanes Partners - At an early stage we recognised the need for the input of key people directly involved with the sport of mountain biking and the 7stanes.com project. We wanted the best and most knowledgeable and talented people to work with us and we are delighted therefore that the following people have been involved in the creation of this website and we thank them for their assistance. Tourism Doctor Limited,
launched in October 2007 evolved from a need the company indentified to
find solutions to online marketing problems they faced in creating a
formidable web presence for their two main portal products,
VisitSouthernScotland.com and SouthernUplandWay.com. These definitive
guides to all tourism related activities in southern Scotland now
attract over 100,000 visitors a month, have substantially raised the
profile of the Region, brought many new people to southern Scotland
from around the world and generated millions of pounds of revenue for
the local tourism industry. Using the latest technology, marketing techniques and web design protocols they have developed a proven product range which is flexible and affordable to suit all types of business. Their services are delivered by a team based locally in D&G with over 20 years collective IT and marketing experience.
