The North West Business Expo declared a huge boost for North West businesses

The North West Business Expo on 5th November at Bolton Whites Hotel has been declared a huge success for North West businesses by organisers, Shout Expo.

Over 1000 delegates visited the expo of 120 exhibition stands at the packed 73m long Premier Suite of Bolton Whites Hotel. The Premier Suite showcased a range of stands with highlights including a climbing wall, a beach, a pitch and putt and a bowling alley amongst others.

Headline Partner, Manchester Metropolitan University and Charity Partner North West Cancer Research set the standard with striking stands full of information and goodies that greeted delegates as they entered the hall. Media Partner, Business Connect Magazine, took the opportunity to engage with businesses from a variety of sectors.

The response from exhibitors and delegates on social media and in personal messages has been outstanding.

Jordan Conlin, Director of Shout Expo said, “ Lancashire Business Expo in September set the tone, bringing confidence back to the business community. On the back of that, the North West Business Expo exceeded even our own, high expectations. It was incredible to see so many delegates chatting with our exhibitors. You could also see people catching up after such a long time. It was loud, hectic and exhausting, which is how it should be!

It was a privilege to host this event. I’d like to say a huge thank you to all of our Partners and to Bolton Whites Hotel for their support. Business is certainly back in the North West.”

The 2022 Lancashire Business Expo will take place at Preston Guild Hall on Friday 25th March. The dates of Shout Expo’s third Merseyside Business Expo and the second North West Business Expo are expected to be announced in the next couple of weeks.
