Tuesday 8th of February 2022 01:28 PM

A major Midlands business to business exhibition which has doubled in size since it launched five years ago is returning to Coventry for the first time in two years.

The Midlands Business Network Expo attracted 70 exhibitors to its first show in 2017 and when it last came to Coventry Building Society Arena in 2020 saw 140 exhibitors take space at the exhibition.

It will again be taking place in the Premier Lounge at Coventry Building Society Arena on Thursday, March 10 and is set to attract businesses from across the country as its reputation continues to grow nationally.

Hundreds of visitors are expected on the day, with business owners, directors, professionals and entrepreneurs all flocking to the exhibition.

Local businesses will also be sharing insights and expertise as part of a seminar programme on the day to help visitors drive their business forwards. SEO expert Adam Collins and social media specialist founder of Lets Run Social, James Urquhart have already been confirmed.

Julie de Thierry, business director at the Midlands Business Network, said: “We’ve hosted several shows at Coventry Building Society Arena and it is the ideal location for one of our flagship exhibitions.

“Since launching five years ago, the Midlands Business Network has developed massively. We now count more than 65,000 businesses among our network and the exhibitions have grown alongside the network.

“We have a strong network here in Coventry, Warwickshire and the wider Midlands, but we have seen our reputation spread nationally and now we attract businesses to our events from London, Manchester and other cities from across the UK.

“As a company we are committed to developing the highest quality exhibitions possible and we are seeing a real appetite and hunger from businesses that want to get back out there and network.”

It will be the sixth time The Midlands Business Network has hosted an exhibition at Coventry Building Society Arena.

Paul Michael, commercial director at Coventry Building Society Arena, added: “The feedback for the Midlands Business Network Expo is always fantastic and the event attracts strong footfall throughout the day.

“It is impressive how the show has grown in recent years. It attracts a diverse range of businesses and we look forward to welcoming exhibitors and visitors to Coventry Building Society Arena in March.”
