Leicester has long had a thriving business networking scene, built on connection, collaboration and shared ambition. For over a decade, Bistro Live was one of the most recognisable networking lunches in the city, bringing together people together month after month, creating meaningful business relationships and genuine friendships.
When that chapter recently came to a close, we didn’t want to see such a strong sense of community simply disappear.
That’s why we created FRESH Live Business Club. A brand-new monthly networking lunch designed to give Leicester’s business community a fresh home, while keeping everything people loved.
More Than Just Networking
At FRESH, we believe networking should feel natural, relaxed and genuinely enjoyable, as too often, business events feel transactional and forced. We wanted to create something different; an environment where conversations flow so that connections happen organically.
FRESH Live Business Club brings together:
- A luxury two-course lunch
- Drinks and refreshments
- Networking that encourages natural conversation
- Roundtable discussions to share insight and experience
- Guest speaker spotlights
- Games and quizzes to keep the atmosphere light, social, and fun
All of this takes place in a relaxed, welcoming setting designed to make networking feel easy.
A Premium Venue
We’re proud to be hosting FRESH Live Business Club at Voco Leicester, a modern and stylish venue located beside the iconic Welford Road Stadium.
With beautifully designed event spaces, exceptional dining, and a warm, contemporary atmosphere, Voco Leicester provides the perfect environment for professional networking. It’s a venue that reflects the experience we want to deliver; polished, welcoming and high quality, without ever feeling stuffy or formal.
Why Community Matters
Strong business communities don’t happen overnight. They’re built over years through trust, consistency and shared experiences.
Many of the most successful business relationships start not with a pitch, but with a conversation.
FRESH Live Business Club is designed to protect and nurture that sense of community, bringing people together in a space where connections can grow naturally.
With over 1,600 businesses already part of the wider FRESH network, this event creates the opportunity to meet professionals from a huge range of sectors, roles and backgrounds, all in one room.
Our Vision
Our aim is to make FRESH Live Business Club a monthly fixture in Leicester’s business calendar, a lunch people genuinely look forward to attending.
We want this to be:
- A place where familiar faces reconnect
- A space where new relationships form
- A community that supports growth, collaboration and opportunity
No memberships. No subscriptions.
Just great events, great people and meaningful business connections.
