The event is extremely popular - last year saw over 6,500 attendees through the doors – and the feedback from visitors and exhibitors alike is always extremely positive.

As ever we have a number of fantastic businesses who will have real vacancies. I’m pleased that we are also introducing a Help Zone for the first time which will have a range of partners on hand to be able to provide support”
