Manchester Business Hub: Guest Blog
At Play It Green, we’re proud to have been supporting Manchester Business Hub (MBH) since the early days of the Covid-19 pandemic. Our relationship with MBH has helped us grow through their invaluable networking events, allowing us to connect with like-minded businesses.
Two years ago, we were honoured to receive MBH’s prestigious Carbon Hero Award, recognising our commitment to reducing carbon footprints. We’ve also worked with MBH to sell green tickets for their events as well as planting a tree, mangrove or sea kelp for every attendee, reinforcing our shared commitment to positive impact and sustainability.
It’s been a fantastic journey alongside MBH, and we look forward to continuing this impactful partnership.
Manchester Business Hub: A Platform for Growth
Manchester Business Hub (MBH), located in Spring Gardens, Manchester, has become a key platform for businesses, entrepreneurs, and professionals in Greater Manchester. Established in 2018, MBH provides an invaluable range of services.
These include access to resources, networking opportunities, and links to potential investments. Since its launch, MBH has experienced consistent growth in its audience and membership, enabling it to host numerous well-attended business and social events across the city.
Connecting the Greater Manchester Business Community
At the heart of MBH’s mission is to connect businesses within Greater Manchester to essential services. Manchester Business Hub promotes a community that thrives on collaboration. Entrepreneurs and professionals from various sectors have found MBH’s networking events beneficial.
These events provide a unique opportunity to connect with like-minded individuals and potential business partners. MBH has hosted events at prominent venues, such as The Alchemist, Tesla, Lloyds Bank, and Banyan.
Diverse and Expanding Audience
What sets MBH apart from other business hubs in the region is the diversity of its audience. Each event attracts over 30% new attendees, which means the hub’s reach is expanding at a rapid pace. This makes the events ideal for anyone looking to widen their business network.
The diverse range of attendees also ensures that the networking opportunities are always fresh and meaningful and offer real business value to participants.
Commitment to Sustainability
Sustainability is a core value of MBH. The hub places strong emphasis on promoting environmentally friendly practices among local businesses. Manchester Business Hub encourages local enterprises to participate in its events, which helps to reduce travel and minimise their carbon footprint.
To reinforce its commitment to sustainability, MBH introduced the Carbon Hero Awards. These awards recognise and celebrate local businesses that demonstrate a commitment to reducing their environmental impact. Businesses can be nominated via MBH’s website, and winners are honoured at one of the hub’s major events.
A Model for Modern Business Hubs
Through its focus on sustainability, business growth, and collaboration, MBH has proven itself to be one of the premier business networking organisations in the Northwest of England.
Its continuous engagement with new businesses, an impressive roster of events, and dedication to sustainability make it a model for modern business hubs. Manchester Business Hub supports the local economy while promoting sustainability practices.
Supporting Businesses at Every Stage
As MBH continues to grow, it remains committed to supporting businesses at every stage of development. Whether it is startups, small-to-medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), or larger corporations, MBH offers vital resources and networking opportunities.
The community built around MBH is one of shared goals and mutual support. MBH believes Manchester’s business environment thrives when businesses and professionals work together.
A Forward-Thinking Organisation
This blend of networking, business support, and sustainability initiatives makes MBH not only a valuable asset to Manchester’s business community but also a forward-thinking organisation.
MBH is committed to ensuring a greener, more connected future for the region.
