Championship winning racer Daniel Lloyd can officially reveal his latest venture after taking the covers off the Ignition Business Club.
Huddersfield-based Daniel elected to create the Members Club having seen first hand how powerful a successful business network can be.
Developing a strong network of businesses and individuals helped Daniel to work his way to the pinnacle of British Motorsport, leading to him securing the Independents’ title in the highly-prestigious British Touring Car Championship last season.
Now, Daniel will take the years of experience gained within the motorsport industry to help others who are keep to not only develop new B2B opportunities, but who are also seeking to create new partnerships that deliver value and results.
The Ignition Business Club will operate to strictly limited numbers, and with a maximum of one business per sector in order to maximise opportunities to collaborate.
During the year, those who sign up to be part of the Ignition Business Club will benefit from access to a range of exclusive events – as detailed below – alongside social media promotions, networking collaborations and wider brand promotion.
Access will also be available to a number of optional events, which includes BTCC race days, social dinners and a trip to a local whisky distillery.
“The whole idea behind The Ignition Club is create something where successful business owners can come together to enjoy a range of incredible experiences, share their passion for cars and develop meaningful relationships along the way,” he said.
“My racing career has given me first hand experience of not only building a strong business network, but of seeing how it can then deliver results for those involved.
“I’m excited to have already welcomed nine successful businesses onboard ahead of this official launch, I’m hugely excited to work with Club members during the year ahead to help them realise their potential.”
The Ignition Business Club Events
Networking is key to the growth of any business. The Ignition Business Club allows you to develop new relationships away from the office in more relaxed surroundings via a range of special events.
Each event has been designed with networking opportunities firmly in mind, but also offer Ignition Business Club members an exclusive experience that you won’t find anywhere else.
18 March – Lunch at the Three Acres
Set in the heart of the Yorkshire countryside with stunning views across the Pennine Hills, The Three Acres has been delivering an exceptional dining experience for more than 50 years – showcasing the very best local produce in impressive surroundings.
A two-course lunch will allow you to enjoy a taste of Yorkshire before a networking session afterwards.
May – Team Karting Event
Showcase your skills on track with a trip to a leading karting venue in Leeds for an exclusive event that includes practice and qualifying sessions before you go head-to-head against your fellow Ignition Business Club members.
Afterwards, you’ll head into Leeds itself for a casual dinner with the opportunity to network.
2 June – Grantley Hall Clay Pigeon Shoot
Head to the Yorkshire Dales and you can enjoy a day of clay pigeon shooting at the luxurious Grantley Hall near Ripon.
On arrival at the 5* stately home, you’ll enjoy a first class breakfast before the opportunity to talk business and make presentations to your fellow Ignition Business Club members.
Lunch then leads into an afternoon shooting before you return to the all-new Grantley Hall Drivers Lounge for a top class BBQ and further opportunities to network.
17 September – Exclusive Ignition Business Club Track Day
Given his background in motorsport, Daniel is an expert when it comes to organising track days and has first hand experience of seeing the fantastic networking opportunities that they provide.
The Ignition Business Club track day will take place at Trac Môn on Anglesey, one of the most picturesque circuits in the UK with astonishing views across the Irish Sea.
With the circuit hired exclusively for the use of the Ignition Business Club, members will have the opportunity to sample a range of different cars that include a Porsche Cayman RGT 400, RenaultSport Megane, BMW M2 and Renaultsport Clio.
There will also be the opportunity to climb about a Porsche Carrera Cup car alongside Daniel for a high-speed passenger lap to see how the professionals do it.
Off track, hospitality will be provided alongside opportunities to showcase your business in a special networking session. There will also be the optional extra to stay over on the evening to enjoy a meal with the other club members.
TBC – Ignition Business Club Dinner Ball
Bring partners, families and clients along to celebrate at the end of the year with a special Dinner Ball, where you can enjoy a three-course dinner and an evening of entertainment with live music, a DJ and plenty more besides.
As has been the case with the Sponsors Ball that Daniel has run successfully for the last four years, the event will also be used to raise funds for the Forget Me Not Children’s Hospice.
