Central Warrington Business Showcase
Weds 26th February 2020, 10am-2pm, Halliwell Jones Stadium, Warrington WA2 7NE
In partnership with the Halliwell Jones Stadium, we are pleased to invite you to take part in this brand new business to business event on Wednesday 26th February!
Good contacts are crucial to a successful business and – even in today’s digital world – meeting people face to face is still one of the best ways of developing meaningful business relationships. This free half day event has been designed to give local businesses of all types and sizes a great chance to get to know each other and find out what products and services are available.
As well as a mini-exhibition and open networking, the Showcase will include a useful business workshop from Business Coach and Trainer Andy Guile, as well as an opportunity to go behind the scenes at Halliwell Jones Stadium with a complimentary guided tour at the beginning of the event.
Following the exhibition, attendees are able to continue networking over a buffet lunch. There will be a charge of £10+VAT per head for this to cover catering costs but attendance is entirely optional i.e. there’s no obligation for visitors attending the free elements of the event to take part in the networking lunch.
There is plenty of free parking available at the Halliwell Jones Stadium for those travelling by car, and the venue is just a 2 minute walk from Warrington Central Station.

10.45am – 12.45pm: Mini Exhibition and Open Networking
Join a range of local companies taking part in this mini business to business exhibition. Exhibiting is an affordable way to raise your profile and showcase your products and services face to face, in a relaxed and friendly environment.
Visiting the mini-exhibition is a great opportunity to meet other local businesses and source new suppliers.
During this part of the Showcase there will be a dedicated meeting area for one to one meetings. This is an ideal way for visitors to make sure you maximise your time on the day, so if there is someone you have been wanting to catch up with for a while, or meet on the day, why not suggest they come along and meet you at the showcase, have a look around, do some networking and get some meetings done too. You do not need to book a space, just turn up (first come first served basis).
