Supporters
“As a local independent family business, we’re delighted to be involved with the Leicester Business Festival. We strive to nurture local talent with our own team and working with independent business owners running their own pubs.
Everards are proud to be from Leicestershire, a reason why we have beers dedicated to local landmarks, people or folklore and we aim to promote the region’s strengths whenever possible. We are currently investing in our new Leicestershire home including new brewery, offices and beer hall and cycle hub and café at Everards Meadows next to Fosse Park.
We look forward to continuing our support for the region through working with other local businesses, supporting business owners and continuing our partnerships with great local attractions such as Leicester Tigers, Leicester Riders and The Curve as well as the Leicester Business Festival.” Stephen Gould, Managing Director

The Sir Thomas White Loan Charity provides unique loans to new and existing business

In addition, all successful applicants have a three-year period to get their business venture up and running, before equal monthly repayments commence over six years.
We have helped countless entrepreneurs and business owners make their dreams a reality, with award-winning hair stylist Barrie Stephen – now our patron – among the many beneficiaries. It sounds too good to be true, but it’s simply what we do. Visit our website for more information and read some of our success stories.
