ILW26 Breakfast Networking: Barnsley
#TogetherWeNetwork
ILW26 Breakfast Networking: Barnsley
Part of International Leadership Week 2026
In-person breakfast and brunch networking events across the UK
#TogetherWeNetwork brings leaders together in welcoming, local settings for meaningful, face-to-face connection. Hosted by our Fellows, partners and IoL colleagues, these informal sessions are designed to strengthen professional networks and make leadership communities more accessible, no matter where you’re based.
We often hear, “You never do anything in my area.” This ILW26 initiative is our answer. With multiple locations nationwide and more to be announced soon, #TogetherWeNetwork creates opportunities to connect closer to home, while still being part of a wider leadership community.
This event is partned with Axudar Learning
How to get to the venue
In partnership with Axudar Learning
Axudar™ Group focuses on the growth and development of organisations across the UK, be they for profit companies, charities or public sector bodies.
We work with leaders and management teams to define a clear strategic direction, align daily operations with long-term goals, and strengthen decision-making through insight-led analysis.
Our bespoke solutions span three core areas:
-
defining organisational strategy
-
leadership and management development
-
enhancing marketing and business visibility.
Businesses can engage with one service or an integrated package, depending on their needs. Whether it’s sharpening strategic focus, upskilling managers, improving commercial performance, or strengthening marketing effectiveness, the end result is that organisations are nimbler, they make better decisions, profits improve and they’re prepared for the future.
Alongside this, we also have deep sector experience in health and social care. Via our sister company Care Ideals, we offer care businesses a unique blend of operational insight, and strategic support.
If you’re ready to build a stronger organisation, develop better leaders, boost profits and surpluses, and create sustainable growth, Axudar™ Group and our sister company Care Ideals are here to support you every step of the way.
