25 Years of Vision & Conversation: The Entrepreneurs Club
For a quarter of a century, the Entrepreneurs Club has brought together some of the region’s most connected people. Exclusively for Director-level leaders, this invite-only community is known not just for its longevity, but for the quality of conversation, the strength of its network, and its signature event: a quarterly lunch in Leeds that’s anything but ordinary.
The Essence of the Club
Founded over 25 years ago, the Entrepreneurs Club is a peer network like no other—built around shared experience, strategic insight, and trust. Attendees are business owners and company directors who value thoughtful dialogue over surface-level networking.
At the core of the Club is a unique format that has stood the test of time: a quarterly lunch, held every three months in Leeds, hosted by Club Chairman Philip Drazen.
Where Business Meets Conversation
Each lunch offers more than lunch and high-level networking. The highlight of the event is a live, chat show-style interview led by Chairman Philip Drazen, who brings warmth, wit, and insight to the stage. In a format that’s informal yet purposeful, Philip interviews fellow attendees—delving into current business challenges, trends, and opportunities in real time.
It’s not scripted. It’s not staged. It’s a candid, unscripted exchange between seasoned professionals who speak from experience—not theory. The result? A compelling, relevant conversation that sparks new thinking and often continues well beyond the event.
What Makes the Entrepreneurs Club Stand Out?
• Exclusivity with Intent
Open only to Directors and business leaders, the Club ensures that every attendee is operating at a strategic level, making each conversation deeply relevant.
• A Proven Format, 25 Years Strong
These aren’t networking events—they're trusted forums where relationships are built over time, and where leaders return again and again for the value they gain.
• Chat Show Interviews with Real Insight
Philip Drazen’s interviews are at the heart of the Club experience. Lively, thoughtful, and often humorous, they uncover both the challenges and the triumphs of business life in an honest, engaging way.
• Connection Over Sales
There’s no selling. No pressure. Just meaningful dialogue and an opportunity to build genuine peer relationships in a relaxed, confidential setting.
Looking Ahead
As it continues beyond its 25th anniversary, the Entrepreneurs Club continues to do what it does best: bring business leaders together for honest conversation, quality connection, and shared insight.
If you’re a Director or business leader looking for a space where substance matters more than show, where you can learn, reflect, and connect with peers who’ve been there—the Entrepreneurs Club is your table.
And the next lunch? It’s just around the corner in Leeds.
GOOD ADVICE FROM OUR MAIN SPONSOR

Good advice is priceless. Not what you want to hear, but what you need to hear. Not imaginary, but practical. Not based on fear, but possibility. Not designed to make you feel better, designed to make you better.
Seek it out at the Business Exposure Group meetings and engage with other Directors who care enough to share their advice and experiences.
The Business Exposure Group is available to MDs, Directors and Business Owners.
