Lancashire Business Expo 2023

The Lancashire Business Expo 2023 opened its doors to an unprecedented number of businesses and visitors on Friday 24th March at Preston Guild Hall.

Lancashire Business Expo is Shout Expo’s flagship event. With over 120 exhibitors and exhibition partners showcasing their businesses to over 1600 visitors from across the North West, the huge success of #LBE2023 was the strongest indicator yet that the Lancashire business community is back to its best, with plenty more growth and innovation to come.

Exhibition stands sold more quickly for this year’s Lancashire Business Expo than ever before, and visitor registrations prior to the event exceeded expectations.

The two floors of the iconic Preston Guild Hall were packed with striking, vibrant and interactive stands where business opportunities could be discussed, and new connections forged. Many stands offered prize draws, games and competitions that gave all visitors the chance to get involved in the fun. The event hashtag #LBE2023 was trending throughout the day with attendees and exhibitors competing for top spot on the Tweet Wall.

Director of Shout Expo, Jordan Conlin, said: “Lancashire Business Expo is our flagship event that we look forward to every year. It never fails to draw top Lancashire businesses and crowds of visitors keen to connect with people they wouldn’t otherwise have the opportunity to meet. 

This year’s LBE was off the scale – so much fun. Preston Guild Hall was buzzing. We’re all exhausted, but we’re already excited about 2024! A huge thanks to all our partners and exhibitors who made the expo such a huge success, and to the visitors who came along to see what the fuss is all about and give our exhibitors the chance to showcase their services.”
