Meet the people behind BNX, a team of small business champions driven by connection, collaboration and results.

From Visibility to Results
BNX isn’t just an expo, it’s a complete business growth experience designed for small business owners who want more than a one-day expo.

At BNX, we believe the right connections spark real growth. That’s why we don’t just list advertisers, we showcase trusted partners who support the UK’s small business community.
Running a business often means searching in lots of different places for the right knowledge, practical resources, useful connections and trusted help.
There is no shortage of business information. The harder part is knowing what to trust, what applies to your business and whether you have considered everything you need to.
That is where BNX is different.
BNX brings more of what businesses need together in one trusted place.
We bring together curated, up-to-date knowledge, practical resources, useful connections and access to real business owners and trusted experts who understand the subjects they are talking about.
Our members are an important part of that exchange.
They do not simply come to BNX to access information and support. They also have opportunities to share their own knowledge, experience and expertise, helping other businesses while building their visibility and becoming known for what they do.
That creates something far more useful than another online information library.
It creates a business community where knowledge is shared, discussed, challenged, applied and put to practical use.
A place where businesses can find the right person to speak to, discover practical resources, learn from people with real experience and get help with the challenges and opportunities they are facing.

Business growth rarely comes from one thing. It often comes from being consistently visible and putting yourself in a position to have useful conversations with the right people, because you never really know where those conversations might lead.
A conversation could result in a new customer, a referral, a collaboration, a supplier, an introduction, a fresh idea or simply a different perspective on something you have been trying to solve.
BNX creates more opportunities for those conversations to happen. Membership sits at the heart of BNX, giving businesses an ongoing way to stay visible, build relationships and remain part of an active business community.
Our Business Expos add another valuable opportunity to meet face to face, showcase your business and start conversations with people you may not otherwise have met.
Alongside the exhibition, there are opportunities to take part in speed networking, Business Surgeries and Knowledge Exchange sessions, giving businesses more ways to connect, learn, ask questions and access practical support.
For exhibitors, the experience also goes beyond the day itself. Three workshops around each expo help you prepare beforehand, make the most of your visibility on the day and follow up effectively afterwards, so the conversations and leads you generate have a better chance of becoming real business.
Together, membership, expos and the wider BNX community create more opportunities to be seen, make connections, build relationships and have the conversations that can lead to business growth.
Get practical business insights, BNX updates, new resources, event news, member spotlights and opportunities across the Business Knowledge Exchange.


The Best Expo Ever!!! BNX Nottingham was full of energy, leads, new friendships and a surprise gift on stage for becoming a BNX member! The venue was epic, I am so pleased I stayed overnight so I could catch up with 4N members I had only met online!


“Where should I start? I flew to England to attend the BNX Ely Expo, but it turned out to be so much more than just an event. It was about meeting friends, making new connections, sharing stories and creating memories that will stay with me for a long time. Congratulations to BNX for organising such a fabulous event. You’ve truly created a space where business and genuine connections come together beautifully.”


Yesterday I was at the BNX Business Networking Expo at the Village Hotels Hotel. Crammed with brilliant businesses, great energy, and some of the best speed networking I've been part of in a while. The kind of event where you walk in not knowing what to expect and walk out with a notebook full of names and a head full of ideas. A huge thank you to Sara Giller and the entire BNX team for putting something like that together. The effort that goes into creating an environment where real conversations actually happen doesn't go unnoticed.

“Yesterday I attended the BNX Ely Expo. I’ve been to a number of business expos in the past, but nothing for a while, so it was great to get back into it. Expos come in all shapes and sizes, ranging from half a dozen stallholders - to vast complexes you can get lost in. Ely was just the sweet spot - plenty of variety and possibilities, but not so much that it was impossible to speak to everyone in the day. So what did I gain from going to the expo? Talking to a number of business owners I hadn’t met before and who might one day be either a client or supplier. Reconnecting with many long standing business friends. Having the privilege of meeting people fact to face. Discussing work with current clients and prospects. Listening to inspirational keynote talks from Sue Marchant and Jonathan James. I also came away with a pile of business cards and leaflets, and they’re not just for decoration.”

I went along to Business Networking Expos Ltd’s first Expo in Nottingham, hosted by Sara Giller & Caroline J Andrew What an amazing day — great keynote speakers, insightful workshops, and a fantastic speed networking session. Thank you for having me; I’m already looking forward to the next one!

“Busy morning at the BNX Expo in Ely! - catching up with local businesses and networking with new faces… A productive day all round - great conversations and plenty of inspiration.’

“Popped up to Ely yesterday for the first BNX Business Expo and met loads of really fun and inspiring small business owners. It was my first time going to an expo as an attendee/business owner (as a marketing gal, I’m usually on the other side of the table!) and I had a great time - even did some speed networking which I really enjoyed.”
