Business Leader Network

Business Leader Network is a lively, forward-thinking community created for ambitious professionals and leaders who are passionate about performance, precision, and progress, both in motorsport and in business. 

Powered by Motorsport To Business® and introduced by founder Nick Butcher, the network brings together like-minded peers and industry experts to connect, collaborate, and learn in memorable, high-impact settings. 

At its core, the network uses the same high-performance principles that drive motorsport success and applies them to helping businesses accelerate their own achievements.

Where Do Events Take Place

Events take place at some of the UK’s most iconic motorsport venues.  

The upcoming calendar features roundtables at Mercedes-Benz World, at the Red Bull Technology Campus, at the Royal Automobile Club, and at the Silverstone Museum.

Network With Like-Minded Peers

Membership comes with a wide range of enriching benefits. Alongside the exclusive roundtable events, members connect with peer advisory networks from a variety of industries and gain opportunities to hear from expert Motorsport Speakers. 

They take part in valuable discussions on business-critical topics, such as how to create a culture where staff feel as invested as their leaders, while also enjoying warm introductions and ongoing networking opportunities.

Motorsport To Business Conferences

A major highlight on the horizon is the network’s first-ever Motorsport To Business Conference, an exciting event designed to shine a light on how high-performance thinking from the racing world can drive commercial success. 

The conference is proposed to take place in October 2026 at Mercedes-Benz World and will feature dynamic panel discussions delivered in partnership with industry leaders, as well as exclusive insights from members of the record-breaking Mercedes-AMG Petronas Formula One Team, who dominated the sport with eight consecutive Constructors’ Championships between 2014 and 2021. 

Proposed speakers include Nicole Bearne, formerly Head of Internal Communications at Mercedes AMG F1 and Executive Assistant to Ross Brawn; Peter Hodgkinson, a respected motorsport leader and team dynamics specialist; and Ryan McGarva, a former Mercedes AMG F1 pit crew member and mechanic to Lewis Hamilton.
