Hundreds made business event ‘beyond our dreams’ 

Hundreds flocked to an annual business event on Thursday 2nd February, described by organisers as the best ever. Worthing and Adur Chamber of Commerce hosted the Better Business show, at the Assembly Hall, in Stoke Abbott Road, Worthing, which was attended by more than 600 people. Chamber chief executive Tina Tilley said: “The show went extremely well. It went better than last year which was beyond our dreams. “We had a constant buzz throughout the day. We have had some amazing feedback from exhibitors who are already booking for next year.

Lots of businesses were giving out free advice and gifts.” An exclusive unveiling of the new BMW 5 Series car was organised by headline sponsor Chandlers. More than 90 exhibitors took part in the event, with two expert advice sessions every half hour on specialist topics. Guest speakers were Gill Fielding, Darren Gearing and Shaa Wasmund, supported by a range of talks and sessions from other local business figures. The Google Digital Garage team were on hand to provide tips, with two workshops over the course of the day. To find out more about next year’s event, email info@ worthingandadurchamber. co.uk
