n May 9, Niche Networking pulled double duty as we announced this year’s semi-finalists for the Niche Business Awards 2022. The event was held at Leicestershire County Cricket Club, with guests treated to a range of canapés and a welcome drink. The inclusion of the semi-finalist announcements meant that there were a range of new faces present for the event, and it was a delight to welcome them into the community. It was also a pleasure to catch up with many of our long-time friends and partners. Rob Ricketts spoke on behalf of the NBA’s headline sponsor, Leicester Castle Business School. He told us

about the 12-week Help to Grow course aimed at owners or senior leaders of SMEs, offering a fresh perspective on business and ways of working. Divyesh Chudasama also spoke on behalf of event sponsor, Tattel. He told us about their new app that connects up-and-coming entrepreneurs with experienced business mentors. The full list of semi-finalists, each announced by their category sponsor, can be found elsewhere in this magazine – congratulations to all the nominees. The finalists will be announced at the next Niche Networking on July 4.
