There are only a couple of days until the Devon Business Expo
2014 opens at Matford Centre, Marsh Barton organised by thebestofexeter with
headline sponsor, Basepoint Business Centres and the Express & Echo as the
official media partner. The event kicks
off at 11am with a welcoming address by Michelle Downey, Head of ‘bestof’ and
seminar. Her talk will be about the
things that business owners can do, not only to bring out the fun aspect of
their business but how to stand out from the crowd.

Over 800 people have registered to attend the Expo which concludes
with an ‘After Show Networking Party’ at 5.30pm sponsored by Business Network
(SW) which will help raise money for the designated show charity, Dream-A-Way.
The official exhibition starts at 12 noon with supporting sponsors,
Glen King PR/Marketing, Thermalogica and GHQ Training. This year’s event has been so well supported
that thebestofexeter announces the date for next year! The Devon Business Expo
2015 will take place on April 30th, again at the Matford Centre. Managing Director Dave Barr said “We are delighted with the
response to this year’s Expo; we are now taking bookings for next year. All of
this year’s exhibitors who re-book on the day will get 10% discount and the
deposit of just 10% of the reduced stand price will be held over for the next
three months. I’d like to personally thank all our sponsors and partners this
year who have helped ensure the success of the event, and I hope they will
support us again in 2015.”
Meanwhile those enjoying the Exeter Chamber of Commerce
Lunch, or attending the seminars at the Expo will be impressed by the settings
and decor which have been generously provided by Vern Allen Entertainments, who
are also exhibiting with their own exhibition stand.
There is lots to see and
do internally and exciting things happening externally. When visitors arrive
they will find the big red Calor Gas marquee by the main entrance hosting
cookery demonstrations by top chef Richard Valder from @Angela’s Restaurant in
Exeter. Exeter Segways is a leader in personal, green transportation,
developing products that transform the way you work, play and live. The company will be showcasing their
eco-friendly personal transporters gliding effortlessly around the outside area
of the Matford Centre.

MBE and his ‘Dream Team’ for a number of years and by helping to raise money at
this event will help them to continue the great work they do providing holidays
and days out for people with disabilities and their carers across the South
West. Make sure you visit the charity on stand #93”
