About this Event
Boss Midlands welcomes you to Step Back in Time — an immersive networking experience designed to bring our industry together in a way that’s anything but ordinary.
Join us on 25th June as we step away from the boardroom and into history, for a morning of meaningful connections, fresh insight, and a truly unique backdrop at the Black Country Living Museum.
With tickets priced at just £30, this event represents incredible value — and with demand already building, this event will sell out.
This is networking done differently. The Experience
Your day begins at 8:30am with arrival and welcome drinks, giving you the chance to ease into the morning with informal networking amongst peers from across the Business Supplies and Services sector.
From there, the day flows naturally — combining conversation, collaboration, and insight — supported by three outstanding sponsors who are helping shape the future of our industry.
We’re proud to be joined by three key partners, each bringing valuable perspective and expertise:
Navigator Paper - Andrew Gilbert, MBA will provide an overview of current market conditions — what’s happening, why it’s happening, and how businesses can navigate the challenges and opportunities ahead.
VOW Wholesale - Adrian Butler - Managing Director, will deliver a mid-year industry update, sharing insight into performance, trends, and what the months ahead may hold.
Nescafé - Jason Jones will showcase their product range and upcoming launches, offering a fresh look at innovation within the category.
Together, these sessions will provide practical, relevant insight to support your business moving forward.
More Than Just a Venue
The Black Country Living Museum is not just a setting — it’s an experience.
Spanning over 300 years of history, this remarkable open-air museum brings the past to life, recreating the sights, sounds, and stories of one of the most important industrial regions in the world. From the Industrial Revolution through to the early 20th century, the village captures the spirit of a time that shaped modern Britain.
It’s the perfect backdrop for an event that’s all about stepping outside the norm.
The Day Continues
A light lunch will be served from 12:00pm, followed by an update from BOSS Federation, bringing you closer to the wider direction of the industry.
From 1:00pm, delegates are invited to explore the museum as a group — or at their own pace — taking in the historic streets, shops, and characters that make this venue so special.
And when you’re ready, you’re free to depart — having experienced a networking event that truly stands apart.
Why Attend
This event is about more than just making contacts.
It’s about building relationships.
It’s about community.
And it’s about creating opportunities that last well beyond the day itself. #gettagging #networkingdonedifferently
