Leeds Business Social
200+ businesses!
We’re inviting you to join us at the Yorkshire Mafia Drinks Evening on Thursday, 18th September at Banyan, Leeds City Centre.
This isn’t just another businesses networking event.
It’s about building something with longevity and real community, shared support, and meaningful connections.
We’re bringing together over 200 professionals from across the region.
People who believe, like we do, that good business is built on trust, conversation, and consistency – not algorithms and LinkedIn comments.
We’d love your support. Your presence matters.
Come for a drink, a conversation, and to help shape what we’re building.
Glass of fizz on arrival!
