CONFERENCE and event venue Exec Peterborough has been chosen to host this year’s Business Focus Exhibition.

The event, which provides local companies from around Peterborough and Cambridgeshire with a platform to showcase their business, moves to the East of England Showground venue for the first time.

Now in its 11th year, the exhibition is benefiting from a larger venue to become the biggest to date.

For the first time it will incorporate the Environment Showcase to demonstrate the talents of some of the region’s most innovative and successful environmental and sustainable projects.

This year’s event takes place on Wednesday 12 October from 9am until 5pm and aims to build on the 70 companies and 700 visitors who attended in 2010.

The exhibition is being organised by The Peterborough Business Club and the Cambridgeshire Chambers of Commerce.

Helen Bosett, sector co-ordinator at the Chamber, said: “We’re delighted to be holding Business Focus at Exec Peterborough. The move to bigger premises will allow us to host more exhibitors, with greater capacity for bespoke exhibiting arrangements, and a huge amount of free parking for visitors who will find the venue easily accessible from the A1.”
