SIBEC drafts in networking guru Graeme Hinde
POSTED 11 Feb 2015 . BY Jak Phillips
Graeme Hinde is the founder of LfX, a business network for UK fitness industry professionals
Fitness industry networking event SIBEC is to tap into the business knowledge of LfX founder Graeme Hinde as part of a new strategic partnership.

LfX, a business network for UK fitness industry professionals, is a natural fit for SIBEC, which offers operators and suppliers the chance to meet face-to-face during two days of intensive meetings.

Ahead of this year’s SIBEC, which will again take place at The Belfry from 20-21 May, former ukactive board director Hinde will provide insight, expertise and contacts to help drive the effectiveness of the networking event.

“The formula for SIBEC clearly works and fits perfectly with the LFX network,” said Hinde. “I was particularly drawn to the partnership as the SIBEC event has been successfully running in the UK for 12 years and it’s great to be associated with such a consistently successful team. I look forward to introducing many of our partners to SIBEC and witnessing the business relationships that develop.”
