Woking Means Business
Woking Means Business, Woking’s own business-tobusiness exhibition returns to Woking Leisure Centre on Wednesday, October 12th 2022 from 9.30am – 4.00pm
Surrey Business Magazine is media partner to Woking Means Business Expo
Launched by Woking Chamber of Commerce back in 2004, the exhibition regularly attracts some 70 local business exhibitors and a total attendance of around 500 business owners, directors and managers.
This year, the Chamber is running the event in partnership with Woking Borough Council, who are generously sponsoring the exhibition in order that stands can be offered at heavily subsidised prices. This is being done to help local companies move forward again after the challenges of the last couple of years.
The eclectic mix of exhibitors includes services such as graphic designers, web companies, IT support, HR consultants, photographers, wealth management, printers, accountants, recruitment companies, hotels, media, property consultants, business organisations, gyms, business consultants and architects.
Special events taking place at the exhibition include the annual Woking Borough Council Breakfast Forum which attracts over 100 leading business professionals – and is always oversubscribed. In addition, there is a brilliant LinkedIn Masterclass led by Surrey’s two leading LinkedIn gurus, Allen Ruddock and Keith Grover.
There will also be a lunchtime business health and welfare special featuring the charismatic Ben Kench on business health, and Shane Cook, who will talk about personal wellbeing, ending up with a fifteen minute session of meditation. Later in the day there will be speed networking with the ubiquitous John Gower, followed by relaxed general networking with some entertainment thrown in with the superb Frank Cognoscenti who is SoSinatra. It promises to be quite a day. It’s all free, parking is free for exhibitors, and free for the first three hours for visitors. Woking companies can exhibit at half price with generous reductions also offered for companies outside of Woking.
