Blaby District Business Breakfast

Wednesday 1 July 2026 | 8am to 10am | Leicester Marriott Hotel 

Join us for breakfast, conversation and connections.

Our Business Breakfast is a relaxed, informal morning designed for business owners and leaders across Blaby District to come together, share experiences and make new connections. Whether you are just starting out or looking to grow an established business, this is a great opportunity to spend time with people who understand the challenges and opportunities of running a business in our area.

What to expect 

This month we are focused on the topics that matter most to businesses right now. Our speakers will cover:

Understanding the economic landscape 

Paul from the Bank of England will share insight on the current macro and micro economic picture, what the Bank is seeing nationally and regionally, and what that means for small businesses over the coming months.

Paul is the Bank of England Agent for the East Midlands. He represents the Bank in the region, engaging with company leaders to understand the business and financial conditions they face, and to explain the policy stance and work of the Bank. Paul has worked as a Bank of England Agent since September 2019. Previous to that, he had economist roles in a variety of public and private sector organisations. 

Getting finance ready

Rowleys Accountants will cover the practical side of preparing your business to approach a lender, including having the right financial information in place and what lenders actually look for.

Tax and compliance for small businesses and limited companies

Rowleys Accountants will also cover the key tax considerations affecting small businesses and limited companies right now, including an overview of Making Tax Digital and what you need to know.

You can also expect a hot breakfast, open networking with local businesses and updates from the Blaby District Business Growth team on local support, funding and upcoming opportunities in the district.
