Do you want to boost your business and gain key contacts in the industry?
This is a great opportunity to boost your business and get in front of key players in the construction industry.
This annual event is directly marketed and aimed at those within the Construction, Property, Heritage, Sustainability and Trade Industries across the East Midlands.
The main aim is to connect businesses together within these industries, to ensure that they are accessible to businesses of all sizes and capacity.
Prices are below the average price to exhibit at an event such as this and we are hoping to draw in attendees from across the East Midlands area by working with some key partners and influencers in the industry.
Why are we holding this Exhibition?
With the current economic climate affecting the Construction industry and the uncertainty of Brexit and now post-Covid, we wanted to bring businesses together in the East Midlands area to facilitate collaborative working, using local services and like-minded business people.
Being a small county-wide charity, we have some great assets and a strong, highly qualified and dedicated team. However this doesn’t always reflect in our marketing of the company due to budget constraints. It does not mean that we are unable to do the job, or less skilled, purely that we cannot shout about what we do as loudly as others. How many other businesses are in the same position? We want to put as many businesses as possible on a level playing field, to showcase what their qualities and services are, and how we can all work together.
For more information on sponsorship and exhibiting please contact hannah.thompson@heritagelincolnshire.org or download the pack below.
To attend the day as a delegate is free of charge and booking is essential.
