Last Chance to Join Bishop’s Stortford Means Business Expo
As the vibrant business community of Bishop’s Stortford gears up for one of its most anticipated events of the year, there’s still time to secure one of the last few remaining stands for the Bishop’s Stortford Means Business (BSMB) exhibition. Scheduled to take place on Wednesday, October 23, from 10 am to 4 pm at the South Mill Arts venue, this annual exhibition promises to be a fantastic opportunity for local businesses to showcase their goods and services.
A Rich History of Success
Since its inception in 2001, BSMB has become a cornerstone event for local entrepreneurs and businesses. The exhibition serves as a platform for networking, collaboration, and community engagement, contributing significantly to the economic prosperity of the area. Last year’s event was a resounding success, attracting a diverse range of exhibitors and visitors alike, and this year is set to be even bigger.
New Leadership, Renewed Energy
The BSMB expo is now under the capable leadership of Brett Shohet, who took over the organization from founder Bob Lee in 2023. Shohet, who is also the driving force behind B7 Media Group and VISION Publications, has successfully revitalized the event, attracting more than two-thirds of last year’s exhibitors back for another round. New participants this year include notable names such as Saffron Building Society, Elm View Care Home, Wood & Disney, and The Delta Group.
“Only a few stands are left now and they will go quickly,” Shohet emphasizes. “Get in touch to be part of the business community, network with fellow exhibitors, and generate business opportunities.”
A Hub for Aspiring Entrepreneurs
BSMB is not just for established businesses; it’s also an invaluable resource for anyone considering starting a business or those who have recently embarked on their entrepreneurial journey. Attendees will find a wealth of advice and support available, making it an ideal environment for learning and growth.
Special Guest: Cyber Security Expert Ben Owen
One of the highlights of this year’s BSMB is a special talk by Ben Owen, a renowned cyber security expert and star of the British, US, and Australian versions of the television show Hunted. With over 23 years of experience in national security and military operations, Owen has played a pivotal role in thwarting high-profile attacks and tracking down some of the world’s most elusive fugitives.
At BSMB, Owen will share critical insights on how to protect your business from cyber threats. His expertise will shed light on how hackers operate and what vulnerabilities they exploit online. This session promises to be a must-attend for anyone concerned about the security of their business in today’s digital landscape.
