SOUTH WEST EXPO
South West Business & Community Expo comes to STEAM
South West Business & Community Expo( SW Expo) is returning to STEAM for its fourth consecutive year on Thursday June 30 2016 from 9am-3pm. This year the event has joined forces with Business West the South West’ s largest business organisation to make it bigger and better than ever before.
The event is free to attend and will include over 80
exhibitors, industry leading workshops, one to one clinics on key business issues, as well as lots of networking opportunities.
Ian Larrard, director of the Swindon & Wiltshire Initiative part of Business West said:“ In an effort to avoid duplication of effort, it makes perfect sense to partner with SW Expo this year. Local businesses will benefit by having one business show that provides a bigger platform to network and create new business opportunities.”
Alec Jones-Hall, Director of South West Expo added:“ We are delighted to be working alongside Business West and have no doubt that a combination of both companies’ expertise will deliver a highly successful business show.
“ Our passion is supporting regional business growth and this show is designed around attendees meeting new clients, suppliers, prospects- or just catching up with old business associates.”
The South West Business and Community Expo is aimed at anyone thinking about starting a business or expanding their current one. In total 900 + businesses are expected to attend on the day, including The Business Exchange Swindon & Wiltshire.
TBE director Anita Jaynes said:“ We’ re delighted to be the show’ s media partner for the third year in a row. Investing time and effort in an event such as this can be seen as a gamble for small businesses, but we have seen a return on investment winning new clients from the show ever year we’ ve attended. We can’ t wait to meet faces old and new again this June.”
