Stands for this year’s Cornwall Business Show have now gone on sale.

The business-to-business trade event was originally scheduled to take place at the Royal Cornwall Events Centre this month but had to be postponed due to the ongoing pandemic.

However, with the vaccine successfully being rolled out and all restrictions hopefully set to be lifted this summer, organisers are confident that the show on October 7 will be a timely tonic for businesses to re-engage and build those ever-important relationships.

Cornwall Business Show, which is now in its ninth year since starting in 2012, is bringing together a wide spectrum of industries and sectors, from small, start-ups to large, established companies.

Organiser, Andrew Weaver, said: “It’s clear from the conversations we are having that people want to get back to doing businesses face-to-face.

“We know you can’t beat meeting people in person, there is so much more value in meeting face-to-face and knowing who you are dealing with, sounding them out and making sure there is a real opportunity for a rapport and that you get along.

“Bringing people together creates real sparks and connections, something only meeting in person can offer. This year we will need to work together more than ever, the Cornwall Business Show offers a genuine platform for cementing the business community within the region.”

This year’s event is looking to host in excess of 165 exhibitors and will feature an updated floor plan to accommodate new and returning clients, including a range of showrooms suitable for commercial vehicles or office furniture.

The event will again host the popular Healthy Workplace Zone, while there will also be a free seminar programme and the new Masterclass & Elevator Pitch Zone, where businesses can promote themselves or showcase their expertise within a purpose-built suite.

There are also a limited number of stands available at special rates for start-up businesses, charities and social enterprises.

The Cornwall Business Show is supported by JHAV and media partner Business Cornwall.
