Louise Hendy

Kingsley Asset Finance

We had a great show exhibiting. The event was busy and we were able to have some really good conversations coming away with 5 potential meetings. A great opportunity to talk to other local businesses and see what is available in the area.

Paul Walsh

Freedom Search

We attended all four of your business exhibitions this year (Preston, Liverpool, Carlisle, and Bolton). We really enjoyed them and they were profitable for us. We'll definitely attend all four again next year. A big thanks to Geoff for his immense support and help with our business.

Fiona Lamle

North Star Design

We had a fantastic experience exhibiting. This was our 3rd time exhibiting at the North West Business Expo and it was the busiest, with a steady flow of visitors from the right mix of business sectors. We made some great connections and had plenty of engaging conversations throughout the event. Plenty to work on over the next couple of weeks.

What an amazing day at the last North West Business Expo! Always great to see so many friendly faces and meet lots of new connections too. This year's event was our best yet — we have the chance to quote 11 potential new clients from the event! Already looking forward to the next one!
