‘Staffordshire is spectacularly successful at breeding and encouraging new, small, exciting firms’
Michaela will join a number of businesses at
Staffordshire’s largest business exhibition on 28 June at Uttoxeter Racecourse. The Chamber’s flagship event will establish a platform for anyone who wants to promote their business and network in the local business community. Attendees will be able to showcase and
network with local companies and key decision makers across the Staffordshire region. Chamber director Chris Plant said:
“Staffordshire is spectacularly successful at breeding and encouraging new, small, exciting firms full of dynamism and promise. There is no shortage of enterprise in this county but there is a shortage of shouting about it. So full marks to everyone who is planning to exhibit or attend our exhibition. “Exhibition stands sold out three months prior
to the event last year and we have received a huge number of enquiries all ready. We expect this year’s event to surpass the success of 2015, 2016 and 2017, we are confident of attracting more 1,000 visitors – making it the biggest business event in the county again.”
Sara Williams, CEO of Staffordshire Chambers of
Commerce, said: “Let’s Do Business fully emphasised the Chamber’s culture of connectivity, bringing together businesses from across the region. Staffordshire is home to thousands of thriving businesses and the county is part of the economic engine of growth for the whole of the country. The Let’s Do Business exhibition showcases the strength of our business community.”
