Celebrating the best in business from our region

HULL BUSINESS EXPO ORGANISERS PROMISE LARGEST EVER EVENT

- By TOM KEIGHLEY

THOUSANDS of businesspeople and entrepreneurs are set to descend on Hull city centre in the coming weeks for Hull Business Expo.

Organisers of the annual event, business networking group The Business Culture Hull and East Yorkshire, say this year’s instalment will be the largest yet.

An estimated 7,000 people attend the networking and exhibitions each year, coming from all over Yorkshire. Co-founder Tony Fowler said: “This is the most exhibitors we've ever had and we can’t wait for another successful event centred around connection, engagement and support.

“We listened to feedback from businesses and adapted to make sure we're ticking the right boxes for everyone - so we don’t have speakers, as they can often detract from the stands. It’s more important than ever that the business community works together and supports each other, and this is another way of bringing everyone together.
