SAVS Community Builder, Chiquitta Bruce, went along to the third Southchurch Business Expo, which was buzzing with energy this year! With over 50 local exhibitors, the event brought together businesses from across Southend, giving them a fantastic chance to network, showcase their work, and connect with the wider community.

Organised by the brilliant teams at Southend Economics Development and Project Southchurch, the expo was a real celebration of local talent, innovation, and collaboration.

There were a range of exhibitors, from creative start-ups to established names, there was something for everyone – and plenty of handshakes, conversations, and a few business cards swapped along the way.

Rob McAvoy, Joint CEO of Project Southchurch, said:

“I had some really positive feedback from exhibitors, and we had some incredible support from the community”

The event was a real success and everyone will be looking forward to the next one!
