North Lancs Expo sells all exhibitor spaces

Lancaster and District Chamber of Commerce has announced that the inaugural North Lancs Expo has sold all the exhibitor spaces available with more than 100 allocated to both chamber members and non-members.

T he event will take place at Lancaster Brewery on Sunday 24th and Monday 25th September.

In addition to B2C, the North Lancs Expo will have a consumer focus, with the Sunday’s emphasis being on training, skills, education and the future workplace.

 

Sunday will be more of a community day, with interactive exhibits and displays, whilst Monday will be a networking and information day for businesses, including guest speakers and break-out sessions.

Vicky Lofthouse, chief executive officer of The Chamber, said: “We are very excited at having the opportunity to run what we believe is the first expo in the district.

“We know the problems that the area faces – skills shortages and skills retention and the Expo is the first opportunity to talk directly to the next generations about what a wonderful area we have to live, work and play in. For too long the lure of the major cities has beckoned many of our youngsters away, but we see no reason why we shouldn’t keep our future talent to ourselves.

“In addition, with the UK leaving the European Union in two years’ time, it’s an ideal time to increase the volume on the conversation regarding exporting and importing for our local and regional firms.”
