Somerset Expo

BUSINESS EXPO TO AID RECOVERY – 4th,5th & 6th NOVEMBER 2011

The Purpose of the Expo

The Somerset Region was badly disrupted by the combined effects of the widespread January floods and the GFC. There is an urgent need for recovery by the 2000 businesses, primary producers and community organisations in the region. However this is a slow process expected to take some time yet before a return to normality can be achieved.
The Expo will showcase the amazing variety of businesses and industry sectors represented in the Somerset Region Including: Retail, Hospitality, Tourism, Manufacturers, Building & Construction, Agricultural,Horticultural, Educational Institutions, Community Organisations, Emergency Services, Chambers of Commerce, Somerset Regional Council and Government Departments. “This will provide everyone with an opportunity to showcase their wares, create an awareness of upcoming local developments and offer many new business connections.”
The Expo will be free for all local Someset businesses to exhibit, however we also encourage exhibitors from other regions to participate as a way of assisting the Somerset Region to build new connections and create opportunities for growth. There are a number of Government initiatives and Somerset Regional Council projects underway which will be attractive for suppliers and contractors. Cost to exhibit for those outside the Somerset Region will be $330, $440 or $550 (all inc GST) depending on size of exhibition booth required.
