Leeds Business Week is almost here. The UK’s biggest business week sees business leaders and inspiring figures from the corporate world gather in Leeds each October, in a week-long event designed to nurture motivation and cultivate mutually-rewarding business relationships.

With more than 100 speakers from the business community and many prominent brands sharing their stories and inspiration and with thousands of delegates from across the UK, keen to participate in the action, this vibrant business event offers a myriad of networking opportunities. Whatever sector you work in, Leeds Business Week is rife with networking opportunities. Quite simply, you’d be foolish to miss out on this bustling opportunity to interact, trade, connect, share ideas and ultimately grow your business.
