Business networking in Kirby Muxloe

Your nearest group to Kirby Muxloe

FindaBiz Kirby Muxloe meets at The Royal Oak, under a mile from the village, on the last Tuesday of each month from 18:00 to 20:00. If you run a business in or around Kirby Muxloe, that’s the easiest place to start. You come along as a guest first, and the first visit is free.

Further down you’ll find the nearest groups and how far away they are, profiles of local members and the seats still open nearby. This page covers what the meetings are like, how the one-seat-per-trade rule works and which businesses usually get the most out of it.

Four groups within 13 miles

The Kirby Muxloe group is the closest, and three more meet within easy reach. FindaBiz Hinckley, 8.4 miles away, meets at The New Plough Inn on the last Monday of the month. FindaBiz Nuneaton meets at The Whitestone on the 2nd Monday, 12.2 miles away, and FindaBiz Lutterworth meets at The Greyhound Coaching Inn on the 1st Tuesday, 12.4 miles away. All four run from 18:00 to 20:00.

Each of the four dates falls in a different week of the month, so if the last Tuesday clashes with something regular in your diary, one of the other groups may suit you better. Visiting Hinckley, Nuneaton or Lutterworth is also a way to meet business owners from outside the village.

One seat for each trade

Each group keeps one seat per trade. There’s only one accountant, one web designer or one mortgage adviser in a group, and the referrals for that trade go to them. Before you visit, check the open seats further down to see whether your trade is still free in Kirby Muxloe or nearby.

Members already cover everything from bookkeeping and conveyancing to oven cleaning, driving instruction and travel, and some of these trades send each other work. A mortgage adviser often meets clients who also need a conveyancing solicitor, protection insurance, or help with a will or lasting power of attorney. An accountant hears when a client is after a bookkeeper, HR support or a financial adviser. Web designers, copywriters, marketers and print suppliers often end up working for the same clients.

The format suits owners who get most of their work by recommendation: care providers, trainers, and anyone a customer would rather hear about from someone they already trust.

Between meetings and on Fridays

Introductions start at the monthly meeting. In between, members meet one to one to learn how each other’s businesses work, what a good referral looks like and what to listen out for. After a few of these conversations, passing on a name with confidence gets much easier.

FindaBiz also runs free online networking every Friday, open to anyone with a free account. You can use it to meet a few members before your first evening at The Royal Oak, or to keep in touch with people from Hinckley, Nuneaton and Lutterworth between meetings.
