We work hard on generating footfall as we’re well aware that without visitors an expo just doesn’t work!

We’re also the only expo to provide lunch and free-flow teas and coffees as standard each year to make the day as smooth and easy as possible for all exhibitors.

What do exhibitors say?

“The best expo I’ve ever exhibited at, and I’ve done the GMEX and NEC… The footfall, promotion and organisation were fantastic…” (Tracy Heatley from Business over Breakfast)

“Brilliant organisation up to and on the day, everything was taken care of…. Lunch and coffee were provided, I could concentrate on promoting my business…” (Wendy Bowers, Role UK)

BBC Radio Lancashire join us each year to broadcast live from the expo, interviewing exhibitors and businesses alike. Our lunchtime speed networking sessions are fast and furious and guarantee a large handful of introductions to follow up on. Our expert speakers are being confirmed and will be announced in November. We’re delighted to welcome the following businesses on-board as partners & sponsors; +24 Marketing in Burnley (Headline Sponsors), Lancashire Business View, Downtown in Business, Lancashare and Boost (Media Partners) and Printing.com Lancaster (Print Sponsors) and are looking forward to lovelocalexpo 2018 being bigger and better than ever.
