Chamber Business Expo 2020 Statement

We have made the decision to postpone our large-scale events until 2021. This includes the Chamber Business Expo (8 October). We all have a duty of care to each other and the wider public and with that in mind, we have deemed that it is not safe to hold large events this year in the way we normally would. We are sad that we won’t be able to celebrate and showcase your fantastic achievements of 19/20 but we feel that it would be more appropriate to spend this time on helping the business community to restart, recover and rebuild for the future.

We know you are busy focussing on the immediate year ahead and diversifying your business to meet the current challenges. Our businesses and our lives may be changed forever after this pandemic, but with any challenge, comes opportunities, fresh ideas, and welcomed change. Herefordshire & Worcestershire businesses are adaptable, resilient and above all, innovative. We can’t wait to see what you and your fellow businesses create through this period and will be by your side to celebrate this success with you in 2021 when the Chamber Business Expo returns.

If you have any questions please contact the Events Team by email awards@hwchamber.co.uk or call 01905 673600.

It was great to meet other local producers, current customers and potential clients. Receiving honest feedback about our range is essential and the Expo provides an ideal platform for that.

Celtic Marches Beverages

A great event with good footfall throughout the day. Lots of new leads and contacts and as always, great to meet up with those we already know. Our 3rd time of exhibiting at the Expo and we will be booking again for the next one!

Once again you have succeeded in hosting an excellent event. The quality of Exhibitors, Attendees, Speakers and support staff is second to none. Being placed at the centre of the hall I managed to look up a couple of times, in between a very busy time for us!!, and see a very busy, bustling environment throughout the day.

As for WaterCooler World we manged to get at least 7 strong leads which should lead to business soon. We always see more business over the coming months with typical comments that “we met at the Chamber Business Expo” and would like to discuss your services.

Congratulations on a super event!

Director, Water Cooler World

We had a great day catching up with existing customers and meeting some potential new ones. Everyone who came to see us seemed genuinely interested in having a conversation about working together and we look forward to building some new relationships as a result

Fisher German have been exhibitors at the Expo for many years, we really enjoyed the experience and felt that our aim to increase brand awareness was successful.

We thought the March 2019 Expo was the best event in a long time and other stall holders I spoke to throughout the day agreed. At times we had queues of businesses lining up to register to help the DKMS charity, and it was a bonus that throughout the day BBC H&W were encouraging listeners to attend the Expo!
