Excitement builds for Lancashire’s biggest business event

By Zebra Colour

19 Feb 2016

The excitement is building to fever pitch with only two weeks to Lancashire’s biggest business event, The Lancashire Business Expo 2016.

With nearly 2,500 business people already registered to attend the Expo, the event promises to be a phenomenal success.

Ian Coupe from Shout Network, the organisers of the event, commented: “Lancashire businesses have really embraced the spirit of the event. It’s all about bringing together the thriving local business community and enabling them to build their organisations, collaborate and share success.

“Our Expo is the biggest business event in Lancashire this year and we urge as many businesses as possible to make the most of such a rare opportunity where they will have access to so many organisations under one roof. Last year, the inaugural Lancashire Business Expo was trending on Twitter with over 10 million views on the day of the event. We hope this year we can top that.”

Many of the 160 exhibitors have been keen to engage with the event and exploit their wares innovatively, such as:

Inleaf, specialists in providing office plants and creating a healthier and more productive environment, are displaying several stunning plants around the two floors of the Guild Hall making it much more attractive and appealing for visitors and exhibitors.

Lomas, office furniture and stationery suppliers, will be providing each exhibitor with a branded stapler to ensure they keep all their essential event paperwork together during an extremely busy exhibition.

Lucky6 Marketing have organised a “Selfie wall” in aid of St Catherine’s Hospice, where exhibitors and visitors will be encouraged to tweet their selfies. The wall is sponsored by 12 local businesses, including Whitehead and Aldrich Accountants, Direct Comms and North of England Training. Donation boxes will also be placed around the Guild Hall. The Expo will take place from 9am-4pm on Friday 4th March at the Guild Hall in Preston. Visit www.lbe2016.co.uk for more details
