Celebrating the Better Business Show’s 10th anniversary

Shoreham-based yoohoo creative is gearing up for a busy autumn as it joins the 10th birthday celebrations of the Better Business Show in Worthing.

Organised by Worthing & Adur Chamber of Commerce, the show is a major event on the local business calendar and yoohoo’s owner, Clive Spring, has played a pivotal role in its success.

Looking back, the show launched in 2013 as Business Showcase, part of Enterprise Week, aiming to highlight the great and good of the Adur and Worthing business community. Originally held on  Worthing Town Hall’s balcony - with just 20 businesses in attendance - it featured three keynote speakers and a speed networking session. 

Over the years, the show went from strength to strength, moving from the balcony to the committee rooms and then to the Assembly Hall.  

In 2015, the Chamber opted for a rebrand and in 2016 the Better Business Show was officially launched as the newly-branded name for Business Showcase. In Clive’s expert hands, the brand was developed, giving it a fresh and contemporary new look, and it has continued to develop over the years.

Chamber Chief Executive Tracie Davey said: “Fast forward to 2023 and the show is now in its third year at Worthing Leisure Centre is still growing. Last year, we had 100 exhibitors and we are on track for the same this year.

It’s so rewarding to look back at the show’s journey and see how far we have come. Clive has been an integral part in developing the brand and guiding us to where we are now.”

Clive said: “I’ve enjoyed being involved and watching the show consolidate and expand, becoming well known and respected locally. It’s now considered to be the ‘must attend event’ in the business calendar year.”

Moving forward, Tracie added that the Chamber’s aim is for the show to grow and develop year on year.

She said, “Google Digital Garage are joining us this year to run some workshops and provide some 121 sessions. 

South Downs Leisure will also be running challenges on the day to see how much KWh we could generate from cycling and rowing and Mindworks will be hosting a pop up escape room for charity, to name a few.”
