Firefly Hub X Counter Interiors B2B Networking Evening 2026

Yorkshire business networking done properly. Showroom presentation, chef demo, craft spirits. Smart-casual, straightforward connections.

Networking That's Worth Your Time.

Counter Interiors is hosting a networking event in collaboration with Firefly Hub on Thursday 16th April 2026 - and we've designed an evening that's worth leaving the office for.

This isn't about awkward conversations with a warm drink. It's about connecting with business professionals who understand what it's like to run a company, in a setting that shows what York does well - quality craftsmanship, proper design, no nonsense.

Who Should Come

This is for business owners and professionals who want to:

✓ Build genuine business relationships
✓ Meet potential suppliers, collaborators, or clients
✓ Expand their network across Yorkshire
✓ Connect with people who understand business growth challenges
✓ See what quality design looks like in practice

The Firefly Hub network covers:

• Property and construction
• Home improvement services
• Corporate services
• Business support and development
• Financial sectors
• B2B and B2C markets

Whether you're established or growing your network, you'll find people worth talking to.

About Counter Interiors

We've been doing this since 2013. Luke founded the business after 20+ years fitting kitchens - back injury meant he couldn't do the physical work anymore, so he opened a showroom in York instead.

Now it's a family business. Luke handles design and technical expertise. Becky (his partner) manages operations, admin, customer service - the organised side that keeps everything running. Together, it works.

We're York's largest independent kitchen showroom (3,200 sq ft). We work with premium manufacturers because we want to know every product inside out - if something goes wrong, we know exactly how to fix it. Average kitchen project sits between £25,000-£50,000, but we've done projects over £100,000 for clients who want the best.

NEFF MasterPartner Excellence Award winners. KBSA Approved. Trustmark Government Endorsed. Not saying that to show off - it's just the credentials that matter in this industry.

Counter Interiors in partnership with Firefly Hub

This is the second Firefly Hub event we've hosted at our York showroom. The first was part of our opening celebration. Looking forward to welcoming the network back for an evening focused on business connections and what York does well.

See you on 16th April.

Counter Interiors Ltd

Info: We'll talk about what Counter Interiors does, how we work with premium manufacturers (NEFF, Siemens, Quooker, Sub-Zero & Wolf), and the kind of kitchens we design. Over 20 years in the business, York's largest independent kitchen showroom (3,200 sq ft), and partnerships that mean we know every product inside out.

Info: Ann's a professionally trained chef who's worked with leading cookery schools. She knows her stuff. You'll see techniques you can actually use, not just fancy plating that looks good but isn't practical.

Info: Hooting Owl will talk about their craft spirits whilst you try them. They've won 10+ Great Taste Awards for their gins, rums, and vodkas - all made in small batches (28 bottles at a time) within York's historic city walls. Proper stuff, not mass-produced alternatives.

Info: Firefly Hub helps small business owners grow and secure new opportunities. They operate across Yorkshire and London, bringing together professionals from multiple industries with a focus on lead generation and genuine connections.
