Organisers ready for next event after Expo success

AFTER a hugely successful Rossendale Means Business Expo last year, organisers are planning an even larger event this June.

Feedback from the 30 exhibitors at last year’s inaugural event, was very encouraging with many businesses large and small, including sole traders, having the chance to network and do business with each other and with visitors. The second Rossendale Means Expo is on Tuesday June 10 and again it is being organised by digital marketing agency GrowTraffic in collaboration with Rossendale Borough Council and business advisor Jane Pallister from Boommm Consultancy.

Sponsorship packages are being offered by the organisers.

GrowTraffic Executive Erin Dempsey said: “Last year’s venue of The Whitaker in Rawtenstall, has been switched for Futures Park in Bacup and the council chamber will provide space for up to 50 expo stands, 20 more than last year.
