Bridgwater Business Expo: Celebrating Community and Growth

Tuesday 25th June, 2024

On the 21st, we hosted our second annual Bridgwater Business Expo, and it exceeded all expectations. Held at a new location, the event featured more exhibitors and visitors, creating an incredible atmosphere throughout the day.

From the networking breakfast that drew over 60 businesses into the room to the final seminars and panel discussions, we couldn’t be happier with how the event unfolded.

We had 31 outstanding exhibitors who truly went all out with their stands. Their friendliness and welcoming nature made it easy to connect with each one.

The Bridgwater Chamber of Commerce aims to showcase the amazing businesses in our local area, and this event did just that.

What a fantastic event we pulled off for the business community of Bridgwater and district, the atmosphere all day was electric and feedback on the day was nothing but exceptional. Quality conversations were facilitated, the seminars were packed with content and the panel discussions were extremely insightful. Thank you to all exhibiting businesses and sponsors for supporting this landmark event and I n particular to our headline sponsor Pardoes Solicitors who were a core partner to the event.

We welcomed around 150 visitors throughout the day, including many familiar faces and some new ones. It was fantastic to see such a great turnout.

This event wouldn’t have been possible without our sponsors. The Bridgwater Chamber of Commerce is a non-profit organisation, relying on support from local businesses to bring such large events to life. A huge thank you to Pardoes Solicitors, our headline sponsor this year, for your unwavering support and engagement with the expo.

As main sponsors of the Bridgwater Business Expo, we at Pardoes Solicitors were thrilled to see so many local businesses come together, showcasing their passion and enthusiasm for our community.

Our commitment to delivering expert legal advice and exceptional personal service underscores our brand’s integrity.

We’re deeply invested in supporting local initiatives that champion excellence and collaboration among businesses. We were proud to sponsor such a prestigious event that nurtures community engagement and fosters meaningful connections.

Thank you to the Bridgwater Chamber of Commerce for providing this opportunity and to all those who attended.

We also extend our gratitude to our other wonderful sponsors: Paul Smith Associates, Maxwells Chartered Accountants, and Bridgwater Space Program. Special thanks to the team at The Canalside, especially Miz and her team, for making the day so memorable.

If you couldn’t join us on the day, you missed out on an incredible event. Make sure to sign up for our newsletter to stay informed about next year’s expo.
