Who and what is BNX?
BNX –
We Don’t Just Host Expos, We Build Growth Journeys for UK Small Businesses
Meet the people behind BNX, a team of small business champions driven by connection, collaboration and results.
We believe expos should be more than footfall. Get to know the values, purpose and people powering the UK’s most practical networking events for SMEs.
BNX is more than a business expo. We’re a platform designed to help UK micro and small businesses get visible, take action and keep growing, long after the banners come down.
Founded by the team behind the trusted 4N Business Expos, BNX was created by people who know what works (and what doesn’t). Most expos offer a stand and some footfall. But then what?
BNX is different. We combine business expos with practical follow-up events, optional community support and simple next steps that help you turn attention into action.
Why BNX
Exists
Most expos stop at exposure. We start there.
BNX was designed to bridge the gap between being seen and seeing results. Here’s what makes BNX different:
Get Seen – Exhibit or attend one of our national expos
Get Growing – Take part in post-expo Business Builder and Growth Strategy events
Get Supported – Join as a Member to unlock full access to our support, resources and opportunities.
It’s everything you need to turn leads into long-term growth with structure, support and purpose.
Designed by Business Owners for Business Owners
We’re not a corporate expo company. We’re business owners who’ve walked in your shoes, hosting expos, running networking groups and building businesses across the UK.
Together, we’ve delivered many business expos and networking events designed to spark real conversations, create lasting connections and drive meaningful growth.
Even more reasons to attend
When you register your free ticket to a BNX Expo, you’ll also receive a free ticket to attend a 4N Online Networking meeting, (if you haven’t attended before) thanks to our collaboration with 4N.
It’s the perfect way to meet other business owners, build visibility and get into the networking mindset before the expo even begins.
