Blackpool Business Expo 2015

Blackpool Business Expo 2015

Blackhurst Budd is pleased to confirm that we will be exhibiting at the forthcoming Blackpool Business Expo on Wednesday 25th February 2015.

The Blackpool Expo is the region’s first dedicated business expo and will see businesses from many different sectors on the Fylde Coast coming together for an opportunity to network, make connections and, hopefully, secure work. The aim of the event is to create “new opportunities and a business community to be proud of”, as well as supporting the ongoing regeneration of the area and strengthening the local economy.  Blackhurst Budd are pleased to be taking part in this event and support these aims.

As well as an opportunity to network with other local businesses, the day will include seminars from a number of local companies and a session led by BBC Apprentice finalist Neil Clough.

The event takes place at Ribby Hall Village from 8:30am – 3pm on Wednesday 25th February 2015 - and it is FREE for visitors to attend!  Perhaps we will see you there?
