BUSINESSES can win a stand at next month’s Business Expo on March 4, courtesy of Enterprising Worcestershire and Worcestershire.Business.Central, the region’s growth hub.

The Herefordshire and Worcestershire Chamber of Commerce event at the Three Counties Showground in Malvern, is set to attract more than 800 visitors, giving start-up companies the ideal audience to help raise their profile. Each of the 10 winners will also receive £250 in marketing support and an invitation to the Expo networking breakfast.

Enterprising Worcestershire is a free programme of business support that is provided by Worcestershire.Business.Central on behalf of Worcestershire County Council, in partnership with the local district councils and part-funded by the European Regional Development Fund.

The programme is open to residents of the county who are considering starting a business, or businesses in Worcestershire which are looking to grow. Support is delivered through a range of workshops and one-to-one sessions, as well as access to a range of grant funding of up to £5,000, depending on the business's stage and eligibility.

To enter the Business Expo competition, email info@business-central.co.uk and in no more than 200 words explain why it would be beneficial for you to exhibit and what you would do with your stand at the show. The competition closes on Friday, January 30 and winners will be notified by February 5.
