Welcome to
North Lincolnshire
Business Network
North Lincolnshire Business Network (NLBN) had its official launch in January 2010.
Funded by North Lincolnshire Council, Business Link and the North Lincolnshire Strategic Partnership the network has been established to assist and support local businesses in their efforts to start up, establish trading relationships, interact with like minded individuals, communicate with local business leaders and ultimately thrive.
The Network offers local businesses the opportunity to come together on a monthly basis to network with like-minded local business people in a relaxed and informal atmosphere. We invite speakers from a variety of business disciplines to provide information on the ever-changing legislative landscape, discuss best practice experiences and share new ideas.
Members and guests are encouraged to attend these business briefings but attendance is not obligatory. However the power and success of the network and its ability to assist, support and develop businesses comes from the participation and commitment of the local businesses themselves. In providing businesses with such networking events the North Lincolnshire Business Network will provide an invaluable source of free information, advice and guidance on an informal one-to-one basis. Additionally businesses can raise their profile on the web with directory listings on both the NLBN website and through North Lincolnshire Council’s Business Directory.
The Network is also supported by Deal Local, a scheme organised by North Lincolnshire based
company HBP Systems. The campaign aims to encourage businesses in the area to trade with
each other wherever possible. The Deal Local website provides businesses in the North Lincolnshire
area with the opportunity to find products and services in the local area and to promote their own
services to the same companies.
The site works on recommendations, with each company on the site recommending its own local
suppliers who provide them with a quality, local service in North Lincolnshire. The Deal Local
campaign also runs interactive workshops on a range of useful business topics. Forthcoming
workshops can be found on our events page.
