About Manchester Business Hub
Connecting Manchester businesses through community, events and visibility
Manchester Business Hub (MBH) is a local membership-led business community based in and around Greater Manchester. We create opportunities for connection, collaboration and growth through high-quality business networking events, member visibility and supportive ongoing engagement.
Our aim is simple: help Manchester-based businesses build real relationships and be more visible locally. We do this through face-to-face and hybrid networking, online promotion and a strong community of business people who believe in supporting one another.
Who we are
MBH began life as a community project in 2018 with the goal of bringing local businesses together to support one another.
Over time, it evolved into one of the region’s most active business networking communities, hosting regular events attended
by dozens of businesses from across Manchester’s vibrant economy
Our Mission
At MBH we believe that strong local connections make for stronger local businesses.
We Help Manchester Businesses:
What we do
Business networking events and local business promotion
Manchester Business Hub runs regular business networking events across Manchester, designed to encourage
meaningful conversations that lead to real business outcomes, including connections, collaborations,
referrals and opportunities.
Our events bring together business owners, decision-makers and local professionals from a wide range of
industries in a welcoming and supportive environment.
Alongside our events, MBH supports the local business community through the mpostcode business directory,
which helps people discover Manchester-based businesses.
MBH membership brings these elements together. Members are active participants at events and are also
promoted through the business directory and wider MBH channels to increase local visibility and recognition.
What to expect from MBH events:
Members attend standard networking events free.
Non-members can attend on a pay-per-event basis.
Our Values
Our background
Manchester Business Hub began with a simple idea: bring Manchester businesses together to make connections that matter.
MBH was initially led by its founder who built the early community through persistent networking and innovative event formats. The organisation rapidly grew into a regional hub for business networking, supported by local sponsors.
Today, MBH continues to evolve under experienced leadership with a dedicated events team committed to creating high-quality networking opportunities for all members.
