Running a business in Hinckley can mean spending much of the week focused on clients, projects and the next deadline. BNSL gives you a regular opportunity to step back, meet other business owners and build relationships across South Leicestershire.
Thursday, 7am–9am · Ullesthorpe Court Hotel · One seat per business category
BNSL members at a recent breakfast meeting, October 2026.
Make connections beyond your usual Hinckley contacts
Whether you work from home, run a town-centre business or provide services across the Hinckley area, a wider network can be a useful source of ideas and introductions. Come with a clear explanation of what you do and the kinds of people you would like to meet. You do not need a polished sales pitch.
A friendly group with no pressure to bring leads
Business Networking South Leicestershire (BNSL) is a non-profit group, run by the group for the group. We believe useful business relationships start with getting to know people. Members share experience, offer support and learn about each other’s services.
There is no pressure to provide leads or referrals at every meeting. Come ready for a conversation, take an interest in others and let trust develop naturally.
