It was fantastic to welcome more than 200 people to Home Park Stadium for our Devon Business Show Skills & Workforce Breakfast, in partnership with the Devon & Somerset LSIP.

We had so many valuable conversations about skills, training and employment, not to mention finding out more about the support available to businesses.
It was also exciting to update people about the Greater Devon LSIP and our 100 Voices campaign.
Thank you to everyone who joined us, including our incredible speakers.

Helen Wylde-Archibald, CEO of Devon Chamber of Commerce, said: “This year’s Devon Business Show saw a record number of exhibitors and also a record number of attendees, which is absolutely fabulous.
“When you start your own business, you’re working on your own quite a lot, and networking’s really, really important for you to be able to build up the connections which allow you to formulate leads, make friends, and actually just generally discuss things concerning your business with people who understand it.
“That’s what the Chamber of Commerce is about, and this event is a really good, physical example of coming together and discussing what those opportunities are.”
