One year ago, YAB, the unique peer-to-peer business problem-solving community, was proudly running nine thriving groups.

A period that marked rapid growth for the community and increasing recognition across the North West.

Since then, the momentum has not only continued, but it is also not showing any signs of slowing down.

On track to double in size by the end of the year, YAB is set to grow to 18 groups, each bringing together like-minded business owners who collaborate, problem-solve, and support each other’s growth.

These peer-to-peer groups are at the heart of YAB’s mission and create a dynamic, supportive environment where leaders can openly share challenges, spark ideas, and build meaningful professional relationships.

YAB is redefining what leadership looks like by inspiring business owners to lead through connection, collaboration, and community.

In the past month alone, two new groups have launched, Ilkley led by The Workplace Collectives’ Kerry Lawlor, April-Joy Serrant and Charlotte Slater and Southport led by Summit Guide, Keith McMurtrie.

Six new group leaders are preparing to bring the YAB experience to new locations over the next three months.

YAB isn’t just growing, it’s creating a movement of empowered, connected business leaders driving real change across the region. Helping them grow personally, professionally and financially.

Business leaders are invited to experience the energy and impact of YAB by attending their local YAB. Complimentary guest passes are available for a limited time, offering a first-hand look at how this lively community is driving real business growth through collaboration and connection.

For more information about YAB and to secure your spot, please contact Jennie Henderson at [email protected], call 01254 427500 or book a guest pass on our website yabcommunity.co.uk/home50015825
